A Photo A Day For 365

In January 2010 I set myself a challenge - To take a photo a day for the whole year. Sounds so simple.. But I want each of the photos to be worth printing in at least A4 size, something that is interesting, beautiful or unusual in some way. This should be a way for me to increase my photography skills and something that is worth sharing with friends and fellow photogs. I stopped uploading photos to this blog for around 7 years...So I will be uploading pictures to fill in the blanks.

Day 145- Gridiron

Back from Overseas this morning and needed to get out right away to stay awake and adjust back to the Australian time zone. What better than standing out in the cold watching gridiron?

5 Games no wins yet - Today they tied 14 -14 but the pain still shows...

The coach isn't happy..

And players hang their heads...

looks like a war zone..

Day 144 - Teacups in Nanjing

I took a collegue out for the evening to see some of the older parts of Nanjing City. Near the Confucius Temple we did some tea tasting and bought some interesting tea cups.

Day 143- The Willy Wonka Train

This trolley runs underneath the HuangPu River in Shanghai and connects the Bund area to the more modern Pudong side of the City. Passengers on the 7 minute train ride are treated to an amazing light and sound show much like the train in the Willy Wonka movie.

Towards the end of the tunnels - lighting becomes a bit more sedate.

Day 142 - China's tallest building

This is the tallest building in China. Located in the Pudong area of Shanghai.

Day 141- Outside the Baaf Cathedral

Two girls sit on the step and exchange stories outside the Baaf Cathedral in Gent Belgium.

Day 140 - Faces in the street

Belgium June 2010 - We sat in teh town square in Gent outside the Baaf Catherdral watching the world cup games on a large screen.
I liked the rough look on this mans face as he walked past.

She didn't like the taste of the Belgian beer.

Day 139 - The event

Jumping a horse over an obstacle looks easy on TV , But when you are up close like this its obvious that there is a lot of coordination between the horse and the rider. Penrith UK - Equestrian Event June 2010.
