Greentea, your photo compositions look very professional in quality! They look like photos printed in National Geographic or Time magazine. Maybe someone would hire you as a photographer. :D

Thank you very much, marshall! I've been studying and practising the technical aspects real hard, but composition is the one thing that comes naturally to me. The technical stuff is hard for me because I have NLD.

This is a part of the house (cave?) where Mary's parents lived and Jesus used to play as a child when he'd visit his grans. I loved the place.

Luckily I live very near to a great forest. I regularly go there, for years. I love it, it comforts me.

Crocodile, prove it to us! Just kidding. :) I mean, do you have any photos? I'd love to see...

Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I'm really giving a lot to this project.

Here goes another one, the place where the remains of St. John the Baptist are buried, except his head that was decapitated and taken to Europe (now there's a lovely church on top of the burial place).

b9, those pictures are beautiful. Whereabouts do you live?

in sydney australia. (northern region)


Is it true the rocky structures are reddish down there.


sorrry i did not answer before. i just came accross this (not literally) and no it is not true that all rocky structures are reddish here.

in the sydney area where i live, we have sandstone foundations which are exposed in many rocky outcrops.
it is a grey looking stone when it is weathered. (newly broken, it looks yellowish)

the red you are referring to is the rocks to the west of sydney that start about 700 miles away from sydneys western oustskrirts (i think).

there is a lot of iron ore in australia's interior "dirts" and rocks, so they look reddish. when the sunset comes, this "reddishness" can become amplified to an irridescent degree.
when that is seen against a darkening navy blue sky, it is a staggering contrast that could never be captured by any media. it has to be witnessed to be fathomed.

but where i live is not dry and iron ore rich.
the rocks and sandstone around sydney are grey (as in my earlier pics).
