The Southern Highlands

Today we drove to the Southern Highlands and spent what was a wonderful day looking around the area. I have been there many times over the years but always driving through with work, but today I stopped, I breathed in and enjoyed the delights of this part of the state. We went to the Belanglo State Forest, Sutton Forest, Exeter, Bundanoon and Penrose. All lovely places that are worthy of spending time at. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I thought I would place a couple of pictures here of some of the architecture I saw and loved.

The picture of Todd's real estate is here because the wording, Motivated.... caused me much thought about the context, the meaning and the thought about many of the words we use, the contexts and suggestions those words invoke. Motivated? I would certainly hope so if you are taking a good commission! It reminds me of a restaurant that I saw once that had a big sign on the front that said "Good Food" I was led to wonder why he needed to reinforce that message. Had something happened there to cause people to doubt the quality. Musings on words and questions that an active mind like mine creates.

The church is one of the nicest buildings I have ever seen. I fell in love with this place when I saw it. I have determined that if I "get there" with my photography I will construct a place whether it is my studio or home or holiday home that looks like this, without the cross on the roof though. It is just so beautiful. I loved the aspect, the strength and simplicity of the design. I loved the pitch of the roof and the grounds were just gorgeous. Hummmm still poor at the moment though!!

That's all. It would appear I have been quite prolific in entries over these past few days. I just couldn't stop from wanting to write my thoughts and activities over the Australia Day weekend, again not for anyone to see necessarily, but to express my life and the fact I am living and experiencing more. Where has 2008's first month of January gone?
