Room With A View

Happy New Year!  Well, it’s been a nice break.  Now, it’s back into the next year, in full swing!

Over my break between Christmas and New Year I went to Norfolk Island, which is a 2 hour flight south-east of Brisbane, where I live.  I had never been there before, and though it’s considered part of Australia in many ways, it is a unique place with it’s own Administration.

It’s a small island, and the only way around is by car.  That said, there are no traffic lights, and only 1 roundabout, which has become a sort of ’signpost’ to direct the tourists by.

I was there for just over a week and it was fantastic.  It is such a relaxing place and you really feel like you’ve had a proper break after being there.  If you’re interested in underwater photography, or landscape photography, this is a great place.  Plus, there is a lot of history to capture.

Over the next few weeks I’ll break down my stay there, in photos.

Here is the first real image I have - the view from my apartment.  I’ll let the photographs speak for themselves.  Here is looking left:

It was a bright sunny day, so needless to say I was using my new Hoya HD Circular Polarising filter!  Now, let’s look right:

Just spectacular, sitting out on the balcony looking at this view.  That’s just the start of my travel and photographic adventures.  Stay tuned!  :-)
