A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

Amanda, what a beauty. It’s must be such a treat to see this terribly interesting animal. Nice job on the low key technique. Happy Photo Challenge.
I forgot you shot it with a phone. I almost never take photos with a phone, but yes, phone camera is a point and shoot camera and it takes photos as jpg, and then you have options to edit them some more with filters, depending on the apps you have. P.S. I like your commenting prompt 🙂
I tend to use the phone more and more, and those photos are easy to edit because it is there on the phone. Others I use an older camera so have to download the SD on the pc. Often there is a time lapse and I don’t always edit them. Thanks for the lovely reply, Paula

The goannas can be quite large and scary.. maybe over two metres. But you don’t see them in the city or the beach, more like the forest and outback.

Some I don’t edit, but then perhaps I should get in the habit of checking each one?

If you take them as jpg then camera does the editing for you.
