Direct lightning strike on Crooked Top Mountain behind Bowraville (locals call it titty mountain). The rural fire service was called out for a grass fire this storm started #lightning #stormseason #bowraville #nsw #landscapephotography #naturephotography

The visually beautiful Red Rock near Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. Also known as blood rock for a police massacre of Gumbaynggirr people in 1841, led by Major Henry Robert Oakes. Oakes still has various local places named after him #redrock #coffscoast #australianhistory #photography

A soft sunset haze last week, with Crooked Top Mountain in the distance. All the locals call it Titty Mountain, the term used now in Gumbaynggirr (the local indigenous language) is a play on that too I think #tittymountain #sunset #landscape #landscapephotography #photography

Last night's full supermoon rising behind South Solitary Island, photo from a headland in Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. There was bushfire smoke from further south I think, hence some of the red #coffsharbour #coffscoast #fullmoon #islands #landscapephotography #photography

A ten second timelapse of last night's storm front as it approached Nambucca Heads on the NSW mid north coast. Images from 6.29pm to 6.57pm. There are three lightning strikes, one is hard to spot #timelapse #storm #nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography #photography

It faded around here as the night wore on, a mate of mine actually saw naked eye colour just as it got dark but I didn't :(

Horseshoe Falls at the gorgeous Mt Field National Park yesterday. Mt Field is the oldest park in Tasmania, love the long bushwalks up in the alpine sections but conditions were too bad this time #waterfalls #longexposure #mtfieldnationalpark #tasmania #landscapephotography #photography

There were street lights near the church for this image but to the west (where the core was) is quite dark, just bush and farmland. Thank you 😊
