A Very Early Trip into the City

Went into the city this morning with some friends to take photos.  As usual, I couldn't help taking some photos with my phone and Instagram.  Here are the results.

A City Lane Way

A Bird

That's all of them, the good, the bad and the very ugly.  The city is a very different place early in the morning.

More Trips Away

The last two weekends has seen me travelling up to some country areas to photograph some bike races.  My phone is always with me, which means I can take more instagram photos.  Here are some from Harcourt.

It was cold and wet on the first day.

They look like snow, but they were plants that had this gorgeous fluffy flower, but it was too windy, and they were to delicate to get any good images.

A very typical scene from that area.  The gum trees around a dam.

A lot of grapes are grown up in this area.  Of course being the start of winter, the vines have lost their leaves.

Apparently that is a mountain in the background.  The sun came out on the Sunday.  These were all taken the weekend before last, and last weekend I went to Creswick.

This is what I saw while I was waiting for a bunch of riders, I was waiting a long time, they had a long way to come. Funny bare hills.

This was while waiting for more.  I was on top of hill this time.  I thought this would make a great backdrop for the cyclists, and it did.

This is taken at the end, but not in Creswick, this was in Whittlesea, where I found myself on Sunday, photographing a recreational ride.

I like instagram and find it is a lot of fun.  I might just use it for this blog, so you can see where I go according to the images, of course you can follow me on facebook or twittter and then you will know straight away.
