Taken at the I Chi Ban Teppan-Yaki Japanese Restaurant in Liverpool Street on my Iphone, they make an awesome quick lunch. I was very impressed with the image quality under low light.

Today I am grateful for time spent with my daughter. She came over and we folded paper cranes for another idea I had and ended up making boats as well. It was quite fun.

Today I am grateful that I am loved. This photo was inspired by Christina Perris song " Jar of Hearts" which has been in my head all day.
Here is the song that goes with the photo.No they are not chocolates but glass hearts

Today I am grateful for second chances. We have driven past these shops before and I made a mental note that next time I definitely wanted to take a photo of them. Tonight I got the chance. This photo is so busy but yet I love it for the chaos and colour. I added a texture for a painterly effect. I have decided I am going back to take more photos soon. Hopefully the car won't be parked there next time

Yesterday I was grateful for an uneventful day, everything ran smoothly like clockwork. No stress, no worries.

Another thing I am grateful for is seeing these guys on our lunchtime walk everyday.They are Eastern Water Dragons. There is about half a dozen of them and they seem to sit in the same spots, they are pretty territorial. They usually run away when we get close to them. This guy was enjoying the sun too much and just sat on the log and let me take his photo. i must say that I wouldnt want to corner one of them, the claws look pretty deadly.

The site of the Cowra Prisoner of War Camp

On Saturday, 5 August 1944 Japanese prisoners at Cowra staged a breakout that resulted in the deaths of 4 young Australians and 231 Japanese.

The camp, officially known as No.12 POW Group, was a complex of four individual camps separated by cross roads. Each camp was originally built to house 1,000 prisoners.

Earlier, on Friday 4, in accordance with the Geneva Convention, notice was given of a transfer of all Japanese prisoners below the rank of Lance Corporal from Cowra to the Hay Prisoner of War Camp.

At 0150 hours on Saturday 5 August 1944 an unauthorized bugle was heard in camp B and immediately thereafter up to 900 Japanese prisoners of war rushed from their huts and attacked the fences of the compound. The outer fence was stormed in two places, with the prisoners using blankets and baseball gloves to minimize the damage inflicted by the barbed wire fencing.

Others set fire to eighteen of the camps twenty huts while those incapable of activity committed suicide by hanging or stabbing themselves, their bodies being burnt in the fires. Those that did not want to become involved were murdered by their comrades.

Armed with a wide assortment of weapons, including knives, one group attacked the crew of a Vickers gun that was stationed outside the camp. Members of the 22nd Garrison Battalion opened fire, causing a large number of casualties.

During the ensuring nine days 334 prisoners were retaken, of which 25 were dead. Of the dead, 11 were found hanging from trees and two had been killed by trains.

In all, 231 Japanese POW's were killed and 108 wounded. One Australian Officer was killed along with three Australian other ranks, while four others were wounded.

Only ruins stand on this site now. A sad reminder of what happened

I love a sunburnt country

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me.

We went for a trip to Cowra for the weekend. So I had a go at landscapes for a change ,as there was so much beautiful countryside along the way

Finally decided to sit down and go through my holidays photos the other day and will be posting a few. We went to Beechworth after the new year and traveled back through the Snowy Mountains on the way home. The weather was awesome and the skies amazing. Taken through the car window because I just couldn't ask him to stop every 5 minutes now could I?

Its nearly my favourite time of the year, when all my day lillies flower. This was the first. Its a shame that each flower only lasts a day then withers.
