Journeys and Star Gazing

Some photos from my daily walk along the banks of Hunter River and the flood plain. All photos taken with my phone camera Samsung S21Ultra.

As I walk I take photos and these I share on my Twitter @dodona777and Blue Sky accounts @mantikos.bsky.social. Many of those pictures are here on this page. I update it regularly, adding new photos I have taken on my walks.

I have to say that one of my great joys, apart from the views & taking photos, of my daily walk, is listening to favourite music thru earbuds. The music becomes a soundtrack of the living film of walking. Through the music, scenes of past friendships and events overlay the current moment. Other times the present overlays my Life. Other times I walk in silence with only the wind and birds singing around me. I like both experiences and their differences.

You will notice that the places are revisited many times but just as you can never enter the same river twice, you can never take the same photo twice because the light and the surroundings have changed..just as I, the photographer have also changed.

By the way, I started this daily walk routine in September 2021 as my response to being diagnosed with diabetes. If you want to know what these daily walks have helped in my remission of diabetes just click here.

Enjoy the scenes I visit and see on my daily walk.
