Lake Monger, Perth, Western Australia Aug 2014

Perth CBD as seen from the north shore of Lake Monger

I've been meaning to photograph Lake Monger for a long time now. In fact for almost two years! Last Wednesday I had a day off and decided to use this chance to check out the lake and it's stunning vistas on Perth CBD with my good mate Mark...

Lesmurdie Falls, re-visited

Guildford Grammar

Guildford Grammar Chapel - I wanted to shoot this location for over a year now... ironically it's really just 5 minutes down the road from where I live but I always end up shooting other locations further afield.

Avon Descent 2014 - Bells Rapids Section

Wow, what a day!

The water levels of the Swan River are the highest in a decade, the weather was absolutely perfect - blue skies and not a single cloud - and the competitors of the 42nd annual Avon Descent provided a spectacular and thrilling show for hundreds of visitors...

Pines Trail, Margaret River July '14

These are just a few quick snaps from a recent stroll through the pine plantations and forests around Margaret River

Quinninup Falls

Quinninup Falls, Western Australia

Last weekend I headed down south to Margaret River and, while having dinner, I wondered if there are any waterfalls in the area worth seeing. A quick google search brought up a forum post with the title "Secret waterfall in the Margaret River region". I was immediately intrigued!
A little more research revealed that this secret waterfall was only an hours walk from the car park at Moses Rock beach(which isn't strictly Margaret River anymore, but close enough for me...).

Lesmurdie Falls National Park 24/07/2014

Last Thursday I went out on yet again another spontaneous little trip. I have heard a few of my mates at work talk about Lesmurdie Falls and thought I'd check it out...

The Eagle View Walk, John Forrest National Park

Hello folks, it;s that time of the week again and I proudly bring you my latest images from the Eagle View Trail in John Forrest National Park near Mundaring.

The Pinnacles, June 2014

 Last weekend I received a visitor from Germany, a friend whom I knew for over ten years now, and we decided spontaneously to head up to the Pinnacles to marvel at this otherworldly place out in the bush. I've been to the Pinnacles before, about 5 years ago, but it amazed me just like the first time I was there...

Bells, Forrests and Kings

Ok today I got a triple pack of images.

We start off with the Bells Rapids, which btw slowly turns into my favorite spot around Perth as I've been there now about six times in the last five months :)

Feature in the Australian Traveller Magazine!

I am very proud and pleased to announce that the Australian Traveler magazine has chosen to publish my photograph "Memories of Perth" in their previous edition (Issue 056) and they even dedicated a double page to my shot! I'm absolutely blown away and very grateful for this reward! Today my issue arrived in the mail and it's a strange (but very awesome!) feeling to see your own shot featured in a magazine!

If you're interested, head over to http://www.australiantraveller.com/perth/your-shot-winner-memories-of-perth/ to take a look!

Many thanks to the Australian Traveller Magazine for their excellent choice (hehe!) and thanks to everyone who has been and still is supporting me and my photography! I love you all!

Far, far away on a Mountain called "Dale"

Don't you just love spontaneous road-trips? I do. And I particularly love Perth, because - despite what a lot of people say about Perth being a smallish and boring City -there's loads of stuff to see and do, if you do your homework and search a little bit online! There are plenty of interesting, and mostly less traveled places within 60-90 minutes from the CBD.

Btw, the cloud on the horizon is from a bush fire north of Perth (see upper Panorama)

An afternoon and an early morning at the Bells Rapids, to catch sunrise and sunset in it's pure beauty.

Stormy day... This photo was shot with an iPhone on Zig Zag Scenic Drive near Kalamunda in the Perth Hills
