PhotoSharks Challenge - Jump.

This photo was taken at the football.

Aussie rules, Essendon plays North Melbourne at Telstra Dome.

Great fun game with lots of atmosphere at the game.

Jumping to gain control of the ball.

This photo was taken at a dolphin show at SeaWorld in Queensland, Australia.

The dolphin jumps out of the water with the girl on his nose and throws her into the air in front of him.

Thursday Challenge - Pink

This is the blossom of the eucalyptus tree.
They come in many different colours, red, pink, yellow, orange, white.
They attract the bees like crazy in the summer.

Macroday - Cap.

This is a macro photo of filter cap on the "AirCap" we use when dealing with the dusty environment of the pigeon lofts.

Great invention.

You put the cap on which is just a baseball type cap.

It has a face shield and a filter and fan mounted on the top of the cap.

The fan blows filtered air down across your face and out the sides of the faceshield creating a positive pressure under the facemask that prevents non filtered air from entering.

Tuesday Challenge - Graffiti.

It would be interesting to know the meaning of it!

Photo Friday - "The dead of night."

This photo was taken outside Crown Casino in Melbourne. Along the Yarra riverside.

They have these great big columns that shoot up spurts of fire in a sequence.

I set the camera on the edge on a big concrete planter right at the rivers edge.

At first there was a couple of little puffs and then a huge burst of flame spewed out of the column nearest me ad scared the crap out of me!! I nearly fell backwards into the Yarra River!!
