Technology

Some of the amazing technology you will find in the bush. Some of it can be created because we know how it works. The other, we can't reproduce ourselves because we still don't really know how it works.

Australia Day In The Spinifex

A walk in the spinifex near Telstra Hill was a great way to start Australia Day.

Isa Home

A photo from back in Mount Isa on a recent paddle at Lake Moondarra. The water level is extremely low.

Video

A video of still frames taken of the aurora and stars in Tromso, Norway.

Star Trails

Some star trails looking south from near Tromso. You can see the bright light of Jupiter top left, and the constellation of Orion is bottom right of centre, just scraping along the horizon. The trails appear almost horizontal at this point due to the unique geometry of spherical globes.

Slow Hustle

The chaotic suburbs of Dubai. Small lane ways, satellite dish bristled roofs and bustling corner shops and stalls in an apparent maze of buildings.

Leave Only Footprints

A temporary indicator of my presence in the Dubai desert. The keen of eye may note the crispness of the prints. It had rained the day before I arrived making a firm surface on the dunes.

Old Dubai

A small courtyard in old Dubai, Bur Dubai, called the Bastakiya. The area contains some small cafes and an art museum as well as some cultural understanding information. It is a must see to discover a little about the real Dubai. 

Sand Grains

Dubai dunes, yep, they just go on as far as the eye can see. This was a photo stop on a dune desert safari with www.arabian-adventures.com. I highly recommend the tour if you wish to see some desert dunes and meet some wonderful people along the way.

Context

To put it in context, this is how high the Burj Khalifa really is compared to regular high-rise buildings.
