Bicheno, Tasmania, 2010. A memorable trip; we were away for a planning retreat at work, and in between very productive writing sessions, we watched a mother humpback whale teaching her baby how to breach, and watched extraordinary sunrises emerging from steel grey seas…

Melbourne 365: Day 96
Time is a fluid thing, fast or slow, or sometimes both at once… how else could you watch the moon gently edging across the sky at the exact same time as the cars streak through, leaving only their noise behind, and at the exact same time as the lights slowly blink on, a window and then a floor and then a building at a time?
