Mostly Spot On

First of all, thanks to all of you for your kind words.
Losing someone is very hard, but sympathy and kind thoughts do help.

Now back to WIIW.
The Mt Gambier’s Blue Lake is amazing, but last week’s WIIW is found in a much darker place.

Kitty, I have to give you part marks, for this

does indeed look very like one of these.

But alas no cigar again.

Linda G for all your hedging you were almost spot on (apart from the agitated fireflies!)

It is indeed a stalactite illuminated from below.

I wonder how the young guide would like being compared to a firefly?

These were taken in Princess Margaret Rose cave on our recent break. One last piccie to give a feel for the cave.

Not The Grampians

Tonight I was going to do a third post on our trip to the Grampians.

But when I began sorting photos I realized that it would be a long post with 20+ piccies.

I will do it as a post (or maybe two or three) before too long because I think it is really worth sharing.

But tonight it is late and I have to hit the hay for an early start tomorrow.

So instead a very quick post about what Deb and I did today.

We drove to Woodend in the Macedon ranges west of Melbourne today.

Woodend is one of many Gold-Rush era towns in Victoria.

In the gardens the daffodils think spring is already here.What really caught my attention was the 1864 St Mary’s Anglican Church.The church was open so I went in to capture shots of the amazing stained glass windows that grace the church. I’ve never managed to capture good shots of stained glass before so I am happy with these.

Here are a few samples.And of course St Mary herself.
One thing that caught my eye was this candle in front of this very Orthodox looking icon image.
I just had to play around to see how well I could catch the candle in the dim light.
