Cape Point lighthouse

I found these wonderful photos of the lighthouse at Cape Point, taken in Cape Town in 2010 and in 2015. Another extraordinary setting for a lighthouse.

Everleigh Locomotive Works in Redfern

Elna and I spent some time exploring the old Eveleigh Locomotive Workshops at South Eveleigh, one of Sydney’s great surviving industrial spaces. Once part of the enormous Eveleigh Railway Workshops, where locomotives were built, maintained and repaired from the late 19th century, the precinct still retains its wonderful old brick buildings, huge machinery, railway infrastructure and raw industrial character. 

It was an amazing place to spend a few hours creatively. We started at The Grounds Coffee Factory. Elna then settled down to paint while I wandered off with my camera, photographing the old buildings, machinery, textures and details. I loved the combination of industrial history and modern life—the sense that so much of the original character has been preserved rather than polished away. It’s exactly the sort of place I love photographing: atmospheric, full of history and with interesting compositions everywhere you look.

Cape Tourville Lighthouse (Tasmania)

I found these old photos of the Cape Tourville Lighthouse in Freycinet that I took in Tasmania in n 2015. What a stunning setting for a lighthouse.
