An Australian backyard

Posted in personal, photography on May 3rd, 2008

One of my fellow bloggers in crime is from the Netherlands. He cleaned his garden up last week, so I thought I’d post a couple of photos of my backyard to see the comparison. Mind you, I just love the architecture of the Netherlands, but as BioTech says, it’s not so warm for flowers.

It’s all a bit different isn’t it?

Renovating the decking

Posted in personal, photography on March 31st, 2008

We had a veranda which was rotting and had stairs which even the dog was too scared to go down. So it was time to at least replace it. I decided to extend it as we had to replace it anyway. It also has a roof, made of material which lets light in, but not heat. My physics honours kid said, “that’s not possible.” Next week he came back with a solution. No blue light and no ultraviolet light. Correct!

Anyway, I took the camera out today as the place I upload photos to: Dreamstime.com likes pictures of men at work and tools and things. Trouble is we can’t have a logo in the photos. So do you think I could get a shot of something without its logo. Even the workers had shirts on with stuff written across the front.

Also dreamstime doesn’t allow faces in photos without a model consent.

I uploaded a few which you will be able to see in 48 hours at Dreamstime

I can put one or two up here though. I asked them if they minded and no they didn’t. You will also get a view of the back of your blogger’s house.
