Taking a break from the city

So, I’m a country boy at heart! I’ve grown up in the country, surrounded by green fields, and, relative peace and quiet. I’ve always wanted to live in the city however, and, over the past year or so, have been lucky enough to have lived in the heart of London, and now in the centre of Brisbane!

I absolutely love city life, but, last weekend, I had a bit of a change of scenery as Kassie and I headed up north to Ayr, in Northern Queensland, where Kassie is from originally. This was my first proper experience of rural Australia, and I loved every minute of it. It was so good to get back out to the countryside for a change, lie in bed, or sit outside listening to birds and peace and quiet, instead of cars and sirens all the time! I was glad to get back to the city at the end of it all, but, the trip was amazing.

Added to that, this was the first time that I got to play properly with my new camera and lens, made it all the more enjoyable! I’m really, really pleased with my new kit, especially now that I also have my new iMac to view and edit everything on, instead of a MacBook.
