This quite unique looking building is located on Port Rd, just left of South Rd as your heading towards Elizabeth. The cross just to the right of the picture is dedicated to “To The Memory Of More Than Seven Million Ukrainians Who Died During The Artificial Famine Organised By The Russian Communist Regime In Ukraine 1932-1933″
Make my day and shout me a beer.
I took this shot while I was at American River which is located on Kangaroo Island. I was actually surprised to see the black swan there. While it was quite awhile ago, the only thing that I remember about American River was the peace and tranquility of the place and the fact that there wasn’t much to eat there except fish and chips.
Apart from the pelicans and swans American River is teeming with other bird life including the ibis and the rare glossy black cockatoo. Because there is so much other wildlife in the area you, more likely that not, may even see some wallabies, possums and echidnas roaming around.
If you are heading that way perhaps you would like to stay at the Golden Chain Motels where I hear that the restaurant serves a whole lot more than just fish-n-chips!
Tanunda is a picturesque town found in beautiful Barossa Valley, South Australias premier wine district. Located only 70km from Adelaide it is well worth the trip out. Most people that visit the area love to take the winery tour where they can taste some of the best wines in Australia.
The Tabor Lutheran Church located on Murray Street (the main street of town) is really quite remarkable. You will notice an orb on the top of the 26 meter spire and it is said that the orb actually holds some old church records. The church dates back from 1849 and as you can see from the photo, it has quite a bit of character.
I reckon this shot would fit in nicely in the ‘raindrops’ series. It’s actually a closeup of a bird of paradise leaf which I took just after it had rained. What I found unusual was that one half was in focus while the other half was crystal clear, so much so you could almost see the individual cells in the leaf.
This church is probably the first church that I came into contact with as it was in this church that I was baptized. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church can be found at 252 Grange Rd, Hindmarsh and it is really quite an impressive building.
