Back in 2015 it was all about sunflowers

First rays

The deal
Nine pieces of gold in exchange for six sugar coated lava bombs. AKA Hot jam doughnuts from the Vic Market here in Melbourne. This was taken yesterday while I was standing in line waiting for my fix. I had my first taste when I was five or six and have been hooked ever since. I was not alone there were at least 15 people in front of me when I joined the line.

This image was taken yesterday on my first post pandemic photowalk. I went with the rule of thirds. In this case the Umbrella is perfectly centred on the Rule of Thirds Junction.
It's a sign
On this day last year I was busily looking for images to fit the 12 Photo Assignments task. One of the words was sign. I found this sign while dismantling a 1980's Roland JC-120 guitar amp. I am fairly certain the text would be illegal if it was on a new product. Perhaps they do things differently in Milton Wisconsin :)

TDU
On this day in 2014 we were in South Australia to watch the Tour Down Under. Pictured is Cadel Evans wearing the Ochre leaders jersey 300 metres from the finish line on the top of Old Wilunga hill. He was in the lead at the time and was passed by 5 others before he got to the finish line. It was a great day.

Opposites
On a rather warm day here in South East Australia I thought I would post the exact opposite. This was taken on the track to the top of Mt St Leonards near Healesville in Victoria. A storm had just passed and it was bitterly cold.
Fastest clock
Six years ago today I was taking still photographs for a play called "The fastest clock in the universe". Which was performed at the Chapel on Chapel here in Melbourne. This was my favourite

Flight
On this day in 2014 Penny and I visited the national trust homestead at Point Cook, where I captured this cormorant in flight.

Fire
Back in 2015 on this day it was all about fire. Paul Pavlinovic doing his thing at Mordialloc beach

The tan
On this day last year I snapped this on "The Tan". I wonder when someone will break the 10 minute barrier. The tan is a popular exercise track around Melbourne's kings domain and Royal botanic Gardens. At 3.827km long that is quite the achievement from Craig Mottram.

Where there is smoke there is fire
On this day last year I found this green oasis in one of Melbourne's many gardens. The haze is from the bushfire crisis we experienced last year.

The Shark
Just testing an amazon photos link. Seeing as @tonyt had issues. Sadly for us in Australia you do not get free unlimited photos with a Prime account. The upside is our Prime subscription is cheaper. You can pay for additional storage.

The stairs
On this day in 2016 I was about to walk the Harbour bridge in Sydney. Here are the magnificent stairs leading to the public bridge walk. I really like the monochrome version. I have included the original for comparison

View of a bridge
On this day in 2016 I was in Sydney taking pictures of my favourite view of the harbour bridge. To the left of this image are the steps to the walking path across the bridge and the building with the green awning is the Glenmore hotel. I once went on a pub crawl around central Sydney. The Glenmore was the cheapest. It has since been moved up market and the prices have risen accordingly. It is still a great place to stop for a beer on a warm Sydney afternoon

Port Sorell
On this day in 2018 we were preparing to leave Tasmania after a great 10 day holiday. This was the morning scene at Port Sorell

The oasis
On this day in 2020 the world was a very different place. I was on the way to a new workplace and snapped this green oasis in the concrete jungle.

Red Bridge
On this day in 2018 we visited Campbell Town in Tasmania. This is the location of "The Red Bridge" described as follows on a nearby sign.
"This famous bridge was built entirely with convict labour. They handmade 1,250,000 bricks and then built the bridge on dry land. When completed they were then told to divert the river beneath it's arches. This was accomplished by digging the new river course a kilometre on both sides of the arches. Built for horse and cart, it is the oldest bridge in Australia, still in use on a major highway. Such was the workmanship of our forefather convicts."

The tall ship
On this day in 2014, I was in Sydney by myself on a road trip to see the cricket... I got there and it was sold out so I did the touristy thing instead. This was taken on the Manly ferry. The James Craig is the name of the tall ship

24 Hour butcher
On this day in 2018 we were in Cygnet Tasmania where we found the oddity of a 24 hour emergency butcher. Get me some snags stat!

Renewal
As promised last night I symbolically burnt 2020. It is a fair exchange one bin fire for another. May the new year bring everything you desire.
New
Word of the day - New
As we embark on this new year we should remember those less fortunate. This image was taken early last year before we were subjected to the worst that 2020 could throw at us. I can not even imagine how tough last year would have been to those that are already on the periphery of society.
