Night Sky

The night sky and Milky Way from the Monument.

Observatory

The observatory at The Monument near Phosphate Hill south of Mount Isa. Just for comparison, a daylight shot (from 2007) can be seen here.

#No Filter

That is no filter that caused this unusual lighting colour to appear in the middle of the night. It is due to the distinct green emission lines of a mercury vapour lamp. That dirt is actually red, and those trees are not so green.

Bicycle Tree

The rather aptly named Bicycle Tree halfway to Dajarra. The bicycles fruit it bears are remarkable.

Tin Bird

A bird of steel and tin pauses for a photograph.

Ocean Views

The ocean views from Magnetic Island are spectacular.

Beach Sunrise

A recent school camp on Magnetic Island gave me this view to wake up to in the morning. Spectacular.

Bright Lights And Stars

The bright city lights of Mount Isa and the stars above merge to one in this panoramic sky scene.

A Space Walk

A climb into space, called Space Walk, at razorback ridge south of Mount Isa. It is a very cool place after dark.

Astrophotography

A quick astrophotography session last night captured this version of the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae.

Morning Crag

A climbing crag south of Mount Isa.
