Red Moon

Very early this morning I arose to view a lunar eclipse. The sky was partially cloudy, but luckily it cleared for a while to get a good view.

Maid of Auckland Hotel

Another of Adelaide's old pubs, The Maid of Auckland on South Road at Edwardstown was first licensed in 1851. The establishment was rebuilt in 1867 and in recent years it has been extensively refurbished inside.

ABC Wednesdays - L for Lighthouse

This is the Marino Rocks Lighthouse located about a kilometre inland in the Marino Conservation Park, just south of Brighton. The lighthouse was built in 1962 and can be seen in the Gulf from a distance of up to 42 kilometres.

Adelaide Convention Centre at night

Light paints pretty pictures doesn't it. This photo was taken only 40 minutes later than the one I posted yesterday.

Sunset

The heatwave is over at last and tonight we were treated to this 'cool' sunset!

North Terrace at night

When I went to the city to photograph the Northern Lights display, it opened my eyes to the beauty of Adelaide at night.

The buildings on the southern side of North Terrace are commercial in nature, while opposite them is the cultural hub; the museum, art gallery and library. Whilst some of the buildings have been renovated the historic facades have generally been retained.
