As an Aussie, I’m asking on behalf of the rest of the world that if you are eligible to vote in the US mid term elections, that you please make the effort to do so and that you consider your vote carefully. Thanks and good luck America. #OnlyYouCan #TheRestOfTheWorldBegsYou #Vote #USAmidterms

#TurningTorso in #Malmö #Sweden was the tallest #Building in the #Nordic region until 2022. It’s 190 metres #Tall. Every 5-story section (9 in all) was rotated, with 90° between top & bottom. Construction took 4.5 years. #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #Travel #Unique #Architecture

This #TimeballStation is #Heritage registered. Built 1876 in #Lyttelton, #NewZealand, it collapsed on 13 June 2011 after a magnitude 6.4 aftershock. The partially reconstructed ( #New ) tower was opened in November 2018. #BlueSkyArtShow #Travel #Photography #Earthquake #OvationOfTheSeas #TimeBall

Have you been to a #50thAnniversary screening of #RockyHorrorPictureShow? My local #Cinema handed us party bags & instructions to throw rice, cards & other props. We left a huge #Mess to cleanup. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekRForRock #Fun #TimeWarp #Music #Nostalgia #CultMovie #WasItReally50Years

A #Rock-Wallaby posed for me at #WilsonPlateau in #WesternAustralia. I was lucky to see her as they are #Nocturnal and very timid. She didn’t stay still for very long. Someone took a step toward her & she hopped back into the Rocks. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRocks #Travel #Photography #Australia

#Sydney doesn’t always host #CruiseShips overnight. #OvationOfTheSea returned the #Night before her original schedule, due to a medical emergency onboard. She berthed at #OPT, near the iconic #HarbourBridge & #OperaHouse. #WeekNforNight #AlphabetChallenge #Photography #Travel #Australia

I recently played a game of #Jenga, with a twist. The #Pieces were huge and we were on a moving #CruiseShip at the time, increasing it’s propensity to wobble threateningly. It was a nerve racking game but definitely a lot of #Fun. #ILost #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #Travel #CruiseLife

Anyone who drives through #Bathurst NSW makes a detour to the #MountPanorama #RaceTrack circuit. Unfortunately when it’s not race weekend the speed limit is 60km per hour & the local boys in blue police it with a vengeance. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDrivetime #Australia #Photography #Travel

In #Suburbia we love putting #Decorations up outside to celebrate #Christmas, which falls during #Summer in #Australia & #NewZealand. This can cause confusion for our northern neighbours. Of course we’re all cold right now, and counting days till summer. #Photography #SummerDaze #BlueSkyArtShow

#Australia has 3 #RailwayTrack gauges. #QueenslandRail introduced #Narrow gauge (1067mm) in 1865 as it would be “cheaper, faster & have tighter curves”. This was the first #NarrowGauge main line in the world. In 2020 Qld had 8,146 kms of narrow gauge track. #Travel #Transport #BlueSkyArtShow

I passed these #Five enchanting #GrassRoofedHuts on the road to #Geiranger. The #Water has come off a #Glacier so it’s a particular shade of green. #Norway always delivers. It’s worth the trip! #WeekVforFive #AlphabetChallenge #Photography #Travel #Sunshine #Clouds #Mountain #Picturesque

Last weekend I went to the #Theatre. While the #Audience were being seated, a screen on the dark stage displayed visual gags to ‘warm’ everyone up. The messages were highly amusing. #BlueSkyArtShow #LightAndShadow #AllHandsMeeting #Comedy #Culture #Photograph

Look #Up at the towering walls of the #Abbey of #MontSaintMichel in #Normandy #France. It has housed monks, been a Viking stronghold and a prison. Over centuries, it’s been damaged and rebuilt many times. #WeekUforUp #AlphabetChallenge #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite #Travel #Photography #History

A #Jet flies overhead. Would I rather be #Up there with them? Maybe. I suppose it depends where they’re heading. If it’s a long trip, could I afford business class? #Photography #Travel #PlaneOverhead #BlueSky #Contrail #NoICan’tAffordItButICanDream #IsItABird #WeekUforUp #AlphabetChallenge

When you are on a #Cruise the cabin steward sometimes leaves you presents. This #Cutie is made using a folded #FaceWasher. S/he is #Posing for a close up and you can almost feel the #Texture. #BlueSkyArtShow #CruiseLife #Travel #Photography #BlackAndWhite #TowelArt #Art #Happy #IDidn’tBringItHome

#AustraliaVotes2025 Question for people with more experience than me…. My question is about conceding. Is that an official action? If the lead suddenly changes in their favour have they legally shot themselves in the foot?
