25. Starry Starry Night, Western Australia
While travelling on Bussell Highway from Busselton to Scarborough just passing the town of Capel, my wife highlighted to me that the skies were filled with stars.
It was really an awesome sight. The surrounding was dark and all that illuminates was up above.
Excited as I was (have never seen a really starry night sky), I immediately pulled over by the side of the road, whipped out my tripod and camera and started shooting into the sky.
It was the loveliest starry starry skies I've ever experienced.
As I do not really have knowledge to correctly capture the night skies, this is all that I can obtain.
That's one of the things I miss about Australia - starry nights. I love the clear blue skies, rainbows and most of all, the cool summer nights spent strolling around the neighbourhood/shopping in the city.
I was a student in Perth in the 1990s.
Hey kongping,
Thanks for dropping by. Now that you've mentioned, the koala really looks stunned!
:bsmilie:

I was really distracted while driving. Distracted because I simply cannot keep my eyes away from those stars filled skies. Totally awesome man!
Same like you, I miss the truely blue skies, and the cool weather. I miss relaxing in the afternoon on the clean and beautifully laid lawn of Langley Park.
I'm definitely going back there again! :bsmilie:

32. Kangaroo Enclosure, Caversham Wildlife Park
I took this picture to try if I could get the wide angle effect with my lens but unfortunately, I just couldn't get what I wanted.
Nonetheless, you're looking at the Kangaroo enclosure at Caversham Wildlife Park. I believe there are about 30 odd kangaroos in this enclosure, just that you don't see them all here in this picture
33. Whatcha Looking at Mate?
I know that these kangaroos are an inquisitive lot of animals, hence, I took the opportunity to prone on the ground to capture this shot up close.
This kangaroo looks like its asking me "Whatcha looking at mate?"
34. Curious Kangaroo
Here's the classic example of a kangaroo being curious. Then again, perhaps its not exactly curious I suppose, but just to check if the human was holding some food!
Check out that stretch! Can you imagine the kangaroo giving you a hind kick? Haha..
35. An Innocent Looking Little Joey
Saw this innocent little joey all by itself in a little enclosure away from the adults. Awww doesn't it make you wanna carry and hug it?
36. Tasmanian Devil, Caversham Wildlife Park
Couldn't really get a focus on this little devil due to his shift change in movement.
This little devil was like being in hysteria jumping and moving here and there. Perhaps he was excited to see us too? I wonder! Haha..

Are you aware that thoe kangeroos have ticks? It's the same sort of ticks as what dogs have but are bigger in size.
My friends and I kena those ticks running up our legs whenever we went to the grass area where the kangeroos were roaming in our campus.

Hey Kelvin, Thanks for signing up. Sent you an email and would be creating a Photographer's Gallery for you once we get the info from you.
The Kangaroos, landscapes are all very nice. When you upload, remember to select a category. If there is no ideal category in mind, just drop me or my colleague an email.

Oops. Forgot to add. If there are pictures of people, you would need to have a model release. I think its hard to attain one right now... since its a holiday. haha... moreover, it should convey a msg in mind so designers can make use of it...
Also, if there are any logos, trademark, you need to PS them out...
Your 2ndcareer has just taken off!

Hahaha.. thanks Jace. 2nd career? My oh my, dare not think too much abt it since my works are really mediocre.
Anyway, thanks for the invite. I'll select some photos to upload once your Australia (Countries) category is up.
Thanks again.
Cheers!

37. Emu Downs Wind Farm, Cervantes
This picture was taken while in the bus on route to Nambung National Park 19km South of Cervantes. I recalled the guide saying that this is one of Western Australia's largest wind farm but I just didn't get the name when he was saying it. But thanks to google, I finally found the name of the farm.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to stop by this wind farm, otherwise it would have been another great photographic location.

38. Nambung National Park, The Pinnacle Desert
The Pinnacles have always been a place that I wanna visit.
Why? 13 years ago, my family visited Nambung National Park but I was excluded because I contracted Mumps (swelling of the parotid glands - under the jawbone). Ever since then, I've always wanted to visit this place.
This is really an awesome place for photography enthusiasts. The sky is ever so blue, the sun is so so bright, everything looks so beautiful! Glad I visited the pinnacle!
39. Limestone Structures, The Pinnacle Desert
Not all structures in the Pinnacle Desert erect tall and upright. Some like the ones in this particular picture looks fat and round.
Oh, one more thing, most of the pictures taken in The Pinnacle Desert had my CP filter mounted on. This in particular, was taken without the CPL filter.
40. Limestone of the Pinnacle
The Pinnacle Desert houses some of the most mysteriously erected limestone structures;
(According to the guide, no one knows the reason for the erection of these structures or its purpose).
Anyway, these remarkable creations are result from a combination of water, quartz, limestone and sand.
Interestingly, this particular structure here looks somewhat similar to errmmm.. guys, you should know what i'm referring to. Haha..

41. The Pinnacle Desert
Everything at the Pinnacle Desert is so beautiful, even the sun in my opinion is beautiful.
Well, because of the above reason, I decided to incorporate the glare from the sun into some pictures. Some may like it, some may not but to me, such glares can be quite stunning.
42. Vegetations of The Pinnacles
Another picture which incorporates the glare from the sun. Just cannot seem to exclude this particular effect as I feel that the blue sky and bright shining sun made the perfect combination of colors in the desert.
Here are some vegetations that are able to withstand the extreme conditions of the desert. Still leafy and has a desaturated green tone to it.
43. Shrubs in Nambung
I've got absolutely no idea of the type of shrub this is or its name to start with.
The intention of this picture was just to show the different colors in the desert. To my surprise, the blue color of the skies blend rather well with the green of the shrub.
Anyway, shrubs like this are abundant in the desert.
