A new year, a new photography thread! Thanks to everyone who's participated in these threads, whether as a photographic contributor, a commenter, or as someone who just pops in from time to time to admire the latest offerings. The Soul Source photography thread now enters its sixth year (well, technically it started life in April of 2013, but who cares?), which I think is amazing.

As I mentioned in the last post of the 2018 thread, its longevity is entirely down to you and your continued involvement, so thank you one and all for making this a real highlight for so long. Cheers, and here's to another photo-filled year!

What's a feral meal? 🤔. Is the horse a sculpture?

 

The feral meal was nice, if you like your meat. Yes its a sculpture. The Prairie Hotel in Parachilna, look it up, my photos wont upload but basically is kankaroo, emu, goat and camel👍

Edit, just read the other replies . Still half a dsy in front here 😁

Australia is on my bucket list.  So.....tell us about the meats? Were they good? I can't imagine what they taste like, especially the camel? You're having quite a trip by the sounds of it. Are you visiting Ulhuru?  Sorry to be nosy. Are you on a sort of tour thing?  Id love to go to Oz. I don't know why? Ever since I was young, I've always wanted to go, but it's so vast....there isn't enough time until retirement and that keeps moving further away! 😂. I'll be too bonkers to go by then!

Yes the meats were good but the canel was in a sausage with herbs. The kangaroo is nice, ive had it beforewith sauce. Ive had it 3 times on this trip. The emu steak was really nice, not tough and again with herbs. This is our 4th trip in ten years, just do it, it is vast and the drives can be long. At the moment we are in adelaide and its more like an English summer, about 20 degrees but now at 8pm its cold and windy. There are lots of bushfires going on  over in Queensland and NSW with temperatures to hit about40. As this is a photo place I'll pm you when i get back about my takes on oz. Still can't upload anymore photos for some reason

If it's any consolation it's a typical English winter! Cold, wet, windy, soggy, damp, dark, dismal!  Still, things could be a whole lot worse as you say. Sometimes we take "safe and ordinary" completely for granted and we shouldn't.  It's a shame you can't uploaded more photos.  Enjoy the rest of your adventures!

Back from OZ, just in time as well as the fires and duststorms rage. So sad to see and quite a shock as there was no real sign of things to come around Adelaid this time last week as the temperature struggled to reach 18degrees.

A few bird photos. First is a Kookaburra, my favourite. 2nd is a Flycatcher. 3rd is a Wedgetailed Eagle. 4th is the colourful Superb Fairywren

Ring Necked Parrot, Galah (pink & Grey) and a pair of Noisy Minor's

Fishing again today at ‘Cefyn Mabley’ nr Newport... great day caught two very nice Mirror Carp:-)

A couple more, off the wife's camera as I was in the front of the plane with me go-pro, from OZ. These were taken from the plane on a scenic flight around Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Range. The first is the iconic photo of "The Pound" and the second is part of a range that stretches for god knows how many miles and shows the lie of the land after millions of years erosion. A fascinating and unique place

Tempting thought? Zoom in.

Casey Key is full of 10 to 20 million dollar homes...

But on Thanksgiving day....it's virtually mine!

Very nice picture mate.  Finally got over the flu and clear skies forecast for the weekend , camera batteries are charged and I'm raring to go.  Pennington flash first thing in the morning for a dawn start and hopefully glorious sunrise 

Could even see Southport in distance was so clear .

Morecambe Bay from Jeffrey Hill was superb . 

Skyway bridge Tampa.

Very impressive!

A cold, misty and frosty morning at Pennington Flash

 

Male Goldeneye.  Don,t see many at Pennington Flash so its always a pleasure too see and photograph them

Every year in the run-up to the festive season, we head to our local garden centre where they put on a massive display of Christmassy things. It's an almost surreal experience: some things are more Christmassy than others, and some things have absolutely no connection to the season at all. But it's very much worth the effort to go visit if you're in the Amsterdam area at this time as it's great fun!

These pics were taken with my aged iPhone 5...

 

 

If you are at a loose end on NYE...here's an idea.

Got to share this Tesla shot. Amazing gull wings.

No problem with that Steve. Non whatsoever.  Far better photograph. 

Infact I would go as far as too say apart from one video on FB  of the sunrise at Amroth nr Tenby which shows the wet beach ,the sea and sky all red, your picture is as good as any I've ever seen

It looks like an oil painting! The colours are amazing. Hard to capture sometimes but that's exactly how the sky looked that morning. 👍🏼

Brilliant. Looks like the place is ablaze.  Funny how it's looks like that in real life but hard to get on a photo and I had mine on sunset mode. 🌞😀 .

Andy.  It's the sort of morning that photographers dream about.  Surprisingly the sunrise was the same over at least 250 miles of the West coast which I've never heard of before,  normally amazing sights like that are very localised.
