Perspectives On Paris — Another View

Over the years, my readers have seen my photojournalistic style photography. I do take close details, humourous or interesting juxtapositions, or landscapes — but mostly I take human interest, documentary, or art and architectural studies. Sometimes colour, sometimes black and white, my style is similar to other journalists or art photographers of my era — yet uniquely my own.

My husband Mark began to take a more serious interest in photography after we met almost 25 years ago. And over the years, his style has evolved in a wonderful way. He has an artist’s eye for composition and I love the fact that he sees things differently, that he notices details that I might not have ever seen. Our interests are similar, but not identical.

Today’s post is a photo essay — and every photo was taken by Mark Harmes.

Enjoy!

An Unexpected Road Sign

We are time travelling back to Australia for this post and I am sharing a road sign that we stopped to photograph on the island of Tasmania off the south coast of Australia.

It’s a beautiful and mainly rural place with gorgeous undulating scenery. And it is also the home to rather a lot of kangaroos and wallabies, all of which are more active between the hours of dusk and dawn. Just as it was when we lived in Country Victoria, one has to be very alert when you drive at night lest you end up with a severely damaged front-end of your car from colliding with these very muscular and dense-bodied creatures.

Hope you enjoy this drastic change of pace from the photos of France!

A serious warning about what you could unexpectedly encounter on the roads as you drive at night in Tasmania, Australia.
