GrahamH's photos

I was pruning some shrubs and this magpie came around finding food in and around the cuttings. At times it was only centimetres from my feet. It wasn't bothered by my continual movement. June 2022.

Two trees, eucalypts, one in my yard and one next door. May 2022.

A sunset of interesting clouds, seen near my home. May 2022.

An unusual flower on a plant which was in the garden prior to our living here. May 2022.

Telecoms works pending.Seen in a motel. In Australia this rope is used to pull cables into underground ducts. The blue and yellow colour combination is used by the Parramatta Eels rugby league team hence the name. April 2022. See PiP.

Another photo of the corner shop near my home. This occasion at dusk. April 2022. Also see www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/51791600

A circuit I built in early 2021 to take a mono unbalanced audio signal at line level from a sound desk, isolate it and provide two pseudo stereo feeds to different devices and a headphone monitoring point. The 4 connections are 6.5mm phone sockets. This was used in enabling church services to be sent over the Web on a conference program. Mouse over for more info. March 2022.

A switch box I built to send unbalanced stereo sound at line level to two alternate devices. March 202.

Did anyone else here work for Telecom Australia? March 2022.

Bundaberg railway station at dusk. July 2018.

The Murphys Creek station building has been repurposed as a museum. The steam loco water tower is apparently remains here for its visual heritage appeal as it no longer functions. The level crossing works regularly for the passing rail freight, largely coal. Sometimes the crossing can be blocked for a while when a train stops in the loop siding to cross another going in the opposite direction along this single line route. The radio tower provides signals communication and a two-way radio system for the train crews to talk with train control. December 2019. PS Just noticed a fence on the right and the left, HFF.

A birthday cake for a follower of the 'Melbourne Storm' rugby league football club. July 2019.

Beyond the dark trees, an old abandoned quarry. April 2019.

Tabletop Mountain in late afternoon light. Seen here from Duggan Park. April 2019.

The Lockyer Valley seen here from Duggan Park at the top of the escarpment in Toowoomba. April 2019

A telecoms relic at the technical college where I used to teach English language. The phone still acquired dial tone if the handset was lifted but could not or would not dial any number. The shelf style and colour is indicative of being from the early 1990s or earlier. The phone directory was about 10 years old from memory. Also see PiPs. March 2020.

A well kept old Jag found in a Toowoomba street. See PiP also. March 2020.

A well presented older Volvo found in a carpark. It appeared to be a daily driver. February 2020
