A week in Sydney

Our week in Sydney started with the New Year Evening celebrations and we had a perfect viewpoint from a boat!

The city lights across the water

The Opera House

The Opera House and the Harbor bridge are both firing!

We were lucky to climb the Harbor Bridge and enjoy the scenic view

The harbor and central business district are below us

Coogee beach

The lovely Gordon's Bay

An unusual view of the Opera House from the ferry

I can't help but add another picture of the very photogenic Opera House

A week in Byron Bay

The first week of our trip was at Simon's parents in Byron Bay.
Here are some landscapes:

I discover the local fauna;

Some sort of Eastern Water Dragon
(head to tail length is about 60 cm long)

Some spider big enough that I don't want to know the details

This one I am more familiar with!

The host cooks us a feast of traditional local delicacies using an Australian icon
- The Barbecue -

Merry Christmas from Australia!

Going traveling!

For the french speaking people, this comic strip from Marion Montaigne gives a good introduction of where I am headed to:

Yes, I am going there:

Mushrooming in Norfolk

Visiting Norfolk, we went to look for mushrooms in a forest around Norwich.

The purple "Amethyst Deceiver"
standing out on the fresh moss

The blue Lepista
(not so blue at this time of the year)

...but still tasty!

I also had a surprising encounter...

It's behind me!!

Dr Who's spacecraft :-D

Green Moleskine

A new page and for once, no collage!

Of course everyone sees what he/she wants... for me there is a cell membrane, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, proteins and ligands. 

What do you see? :-)
