Tuesdays of Texture: Coin
Posted on March 7, 2017
On a wet afternoon last week I was roaming the house with my macro lens and got this close-up image, which revealed the interesting texture of the central inset.

Tuesdays of Texture: Frog
Posted on January 17, 2017
This is a detail of a metal sculpture that’s part of a water feature to be found in the old part of Sydney, down by Circular Quay.
