Finding art in the ordinary things we walk over........

Feeling like a bit of art is needed, letting the old brain matter be creative for a change........


Had a morning walk down the street and for some reason I was drawn to the man-hole covers on the pavement, there are so so many in a range of different types...... So with my trusty tiny little camera in hand I snapped a few and getting strange looks from the locals as I was doing so!!!


So after a little editing these are what I came up with.........







So next time you walk down the street just think of the art that is under your very feet!!!!


A big thanks to all you wonderful people who left a message in my comments, they really mean a lot to me guys and I hope you come back for a look see soon......

A new life and a new look blog.....

Well its been a while hasn't it........I should be spanked......

I'm finally in a head space now where I have got the time to blog...... Yeah.....

So I have finally moved to Abu Dhabi in the UAE and its going to take a while but I'm sure I'll get used to it in time.

Its a strange place, beautiful in some ways and 3rd worldish in others but I know one thing for sure the love to shop!! There are malls every where with anything you could ever want (well all most, have yet to find a scrap shop in Abu Dhabi but there is one in Dubai ) and being I hate shopping (except for scrap stuff) this is one thing that is turning out to be a struggle!!!!
I had a little freak out the day I left Brisbane and in my state of mental panic I left my canon 400d camera behind so I have taken Cameron's little point and shot Fuji ( OMG its small ) for my own till I can ship my baby over...... So please forgive the pics as I'm still getting used to looking at a screen and not though a viewer.......

Ok lets start with a few pics.........

this is downtown Abu Dhabi.......
