This has been a busy week for me and although I made a trip to Hobart last week I had to hurry home to get chores done so did not have time to take my camera for a walk as I had hoped.
Delving into the archives I came up with a few photos that I thought it would be fun to play with. Mostly I used Picasa adding a cyan or sepia filter effect but for the Hobart ones I used Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

Your photos are absolutely wonderful for this week. I like the one with the shadow of the palm tree. 😀

That was what I liked about that particular photo that made the walkway more interesting. Otherwise it would have been all about the view.

I really like your photo angle of the Sydney Opera house and the choice of sepia tones

Thanks I thought that the sepia suited it like an old postcard.
