Rooftop pool at the Pullman hotel Sydney

Next morning after our Helium binge, before checking out we take a dip in the rooftop pool on this awesome autumn day. and I love the view, to the right you can see the opening to the ocean of the harbour and Sydney City and Hyde park to the left, great location





so many smiley faces, not because fashion week is over, or that we are in a rooftop pool...no , because we are about to board a plane and go on hoilday !! mother and son checking out the view

pool reflections in the glass

Love me a council clean up

O our way to check out these home extensions, I saw 4 big wooden ladders being thrown out, including a straight one with wooden rungs I been looking for to hang from the kitchen ceilinso we can hang our pots and pans of it with some butcher's hooks. But these big A frame ladders are a score I feel. So happy with my find, imagine if they made it to the garbage truck and were destroyed. SO we set these up in the garden and had some fun

sharing is caring. Time for a drink as we wait for the sun to go down and do some photos with the fairy lights





some gif fun

nearly the whole family

aah, but we have the timer on the camera there we are, cat and all more gif fun fairy light time Jacqui visibly impressed with my long exposures hehehe

Surf Sessions at Bilgola Beach

Had some footage on go pro needing to be edited and published, so here's a 2 min clip of 2 sessions at Bilgola beach, one in Jan 2013 and then March. I don't surf that often at Bilgola, but the bank has been fun out there.

Shooting Lookbook with Valentina for Truese

Charlotte Blakeney doing the make up and hair today at Wish studios looking good woohoo,looking glam poladroid glam ok, let's shoot

Alice Springs > Sydney flight back

and yet another glorious blue sky day in the N.T. :-) take off, and I see the ranges and gaps I visited yesterday must be Emily or Jessie's gap on the left did not see that before ( the green rectangles ) not even 5 minutes into the flight and I'm already like woauw amazing, love it, get me back there !! :-) zoomed out again, woauw, I need a few weeks and a serious 4WD and I promise I will produce some awesome photos I mean, looking at it from up here, it's like our version of grand canyon, just looks so spectacular if you look close, you will see the river bed on the rigth is still green Saint Teresa, some 80km from Alice Springs in South Easterly direction. See-ing that know, wish I had spent an extra day ( or 4 ) driving south east :-) because just before Saint Teresa you have those shots preceding the shot before saint teresa and then after saint teresa you get this, big snaking caterpillar look close and you could imagine a mars landscape looks like the flight is taking us exactly the same way as we flew in  just can't get over how awesome it looks down there

and then the Simpson desert starts

100's of kilometers of red sand give you an idea of where I am yep same path as flight in

I wonder at what stage the Simpson is no longer and becomes theStrzelecki Desert



there are those lines again, can anyone shed light on what they are

Helsinki > Singapore

North Reef Island, off Smith Island, which is part of the chain of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and I'm now curious if this is a potential surf destination So about 7 hours into flight from Helsinki, only taking photos now, as, well, everyone was sleeping all window shades were down, and even when I opened mine by about a centimeter it was like a big floodlight filling the cabin, so I was trying hard to be courteous to other passengers, but I could not hold out any longer when I saw tropical clouds forming over Islands


love this










Ko Racha Yai Island to the left and the southern tip of Phuket Ko Ra Wi & Ko A Dang looks like snorkelling paradise and can already see all the lobster backs ( as in englsih tourist fried red from sun :-)

Jacqui has the full report here ( click ) with plenty of photos. Jacqui's new love :-)

hahaha, had so much doing this on the day. It was the cat from the Australian Olympic team, so was an awesome day sailing. and got paid for it, but damn it, now that I remember, I reckon I got ripped off, 450 bucks minus agency fees hahaha.
