CFFC: Night


Time of day—Night — CFFC

I used to enjoy going to the cricket as much for the opportunity to take photos as for the game itself. Two photos taken at Bellerive oval at a day night match.

A cricket stadium with a large crowd gathered, illuminated by floodlights against a twilight sky.

This was the last time that David and I took the ferry from Station Pier in Melbourne to Devonport, Tasmania. We’d been visiting family and after the long drive from Adelaide to Melbourne we waited in the queue to board the ferry.

A view from inside a car waiting in line at a ferry terminal, with the large ferry 'Spirit of Tasmania I' visible in the background during twilight.

The moon from our deck at Sisters Beach.

A serene night sky with a bright moon surrounded by dark silhouettes of trees, casting a peaceful atmosphere.

George Street Sydney in 2018. The road was closed to traffic due the construction of the light rail line. We went out to dinner and later walked back to our hotel.

This one goes back to our days of going on steam train trips in Adelaide. Returning from a trip I took this photo of the locomotive at the Adelaide Station. It’s scanned from an old photo and I’m not sure of the year.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our 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. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs,Teddy and Brodie and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly.
