S&R Orchard hosts a popular blossom festival every S&R Orchard hosts a popular blossom festival every year in September. The plum, peach and cherry blossoms make the perfect additions to any portrait.⁠ ⁠ It was great to come out here this year and shoot a portrait session among all the blossoms.

The Paddock Busselton is a new tourist attraction The Paddock Busselton is a new tourist attraction in Australia's South West, featuring an incredible number of sunflowers spread over a few paddocks.⁠ ⁠ Sunflowers are one of the fastest growing plants, reaching full bloom around 70-80 days after planting. The peak bloom at The Paddock is from late January to early February.⁠ ⁠ I drove down from Perth to see the final weekend of full bloom thinking whether it was worth the 2.5hr drive - it was most definitely worth the drive, and the crazy wind and rain that came in the afternoon!⁠ ⁠ On this final weekend of blooming visitors were also allowed to pick and purchase their own sunflowers, with many taking home head-sized sunflowers!⁠ ⁠ Thanks to Beau and Casey for opening up this beautiful and bright place for the public to enjoy. Looking forward to visiting again in 2023!⁠ ⁠ @thepaddockbusselton⁠ ⁠ #justanotherdayinwa #citybusselton #westernaustralia #perthisok #perthlife #wanderlust #YourShotPhotographer #instagood #instatravel #SeeAustralia #australiagram #landscape_lovers #sunflowers #igperth #cityofperth #beautifuldestinations #australia #amazingwa #seenwa #thisiswa #destinationperth #soperth #exploringaustralia #summer
One of Perth's hidden gems is Yanchep Lavender Far One of Perth's hidden gems is Yanchep Lavender Farm. This is the largest operating lavender farm in Perth and is a wonderful place to spend a late afternoon.⁠ ⁠ You can wander the lavender field featuring over 40,000 plants and discover all sorts of lavender-based treats and products at the newly built café.⁠ ⁠ Here is @queen.of.jetlags during our portrait session enjoying the beautiful fragrance in the lavender field.⁠ ⁠ Thanks to the owners Gary and Karla for providing access to your lavender farm and teaching us more about lavender. @yancheplavenderfarm⁠ ⁠ If you want to visit Yanchep Lavender Farm, get in over the next couple of weeks as the lavender will be harvested in late February.⁠ ⁠ #justanotherdayinwa #perthisok #perthlife #westernaustralia #wanderlust #YourShotPhotographer #instagood #instatravel #SeeAustralia #australiagram #landscape_lovers #igperth #cityofperth #cityofwanneroo #beautifuldestinations #lavender #australia #amazingwa #seenwa #thisiswa #destinationperth #soperth #exploringaustralia #summer⁠
From late October through November, the jacaranda From late October through November, the jacaranda trees hit full bloom in Perth. It was quite interesting to experience the jacaranda bloom at their peak for the first time in many years as I'm normally overseas this time of the year.⁠ ⁠ Perth has some outstanding jacaranda spots and this superb jacaranda outside Parliament House was perfect for our photo shoot.⁠ ⁠ Looking forward to shooting more portraits in beautiful locations in Perth and Western Australia in 2022!⁠ ⁠ Model: @meetmeimei⁠ ⁠ #justanotherdayinwa #perthisok #perthlife #westernaustralia #wanderlust #YourShotPhotographer #instagood #instatravel #SeeAustralia #australiagram #landscape_lovers #igperth #cityofperth #beautifuldestinations #jacarandaseason #jacarandafestival #nature #australia #amazingwa #westernaustralia #seenwa #thisiswa #destinationperth #soperth #spring
After a long break from Instagram, I'm back! With After a long break from Instagram, I'm back! With COVID-19 affecting so many people and livelihoods, it was good to take a break from IG. 2020 and 2021 will be first years in many years I haven't travelled extensively overseas and I've really missed Japan. I had plans to be in Tokyo for the Olympics but COVID travel restrictions changed all that; it's so unfortunate that Tokyo is still dealing with such a bad COVID situation. I hope Tokyo will recover sooner than later and international travel can resume to this amazing city. When I get back to Tokyo I look forward to seeing and shooting these two locations again - the twilight view of Mount Fuji from Tokyo Skytree and the Olympic Stadium. Thank you Tokyo for hosting a wonderful Olympics. It's been great to watch on TV all the amazing performances from athletes these past two weeks. #Tokyo #Japan #Olympics #Tokyo2020 #tokyoolympics #MountFuji #富士 #beautifuldestinations #ig_japan #japantrip #VisitJapan #VisitJapanAU #tokyocameraclub #JapanRevealed #Shinjuku #visitjapanjp #tokyoskytree
After a bit of a break from Instagram, It was good After a bit of a break from Instagram, It was good to be able to get out this morning to take some photos and come away with something nice.⁠ ⁠ Here in Perth we've been experiencing the effects of a "superstorm" the past couple of days. Together with the high tide and new moon, this creates my favourite conditions to shoot the Blue Boatshed under.⁠ ⁠ I only ever come out to this spot in these conditions when it's possible to see a "floating boatshed". Really magical to see and shoot this!⁠ ⁠ #perthisok #perthlife #cityofperth #westernaustralia #justanotherdayinwa #wanderlust #visitperth #instagood #instatravel #SeeAustralia #australiagram #landscape_lovers #igperth #cityofperth #beautifuldestinations #bnwlandscape #exploretocreate #perthlife #thevisualscollective #artofvisuals #AGameofTones #stayandwander #perthvibes #thewestaustralian #bnwlandscape #Bnw_Greatshots #longexposure #nikontop #moodygrams #landscape_captures
Plum blossoms, Nabana no Sato (梅,なばなの里 Plum blossoms, Nabana no Sato (梅,なばなの里)⁠ ⁠ One of the great things about the end of winter and start of spring in Japan is seeing plum blossoms in bloom.⁠ ⁠ Plum blossoms (梅, ume) aren't as popular as cherry blossoms but historically were the first trees admired when the practice of hanami (花見, flower viewing) began in the Nara Period (710-794). As time went on, cherry blossoms (桜, sakura) became more popular and are now synonymous with hanami.⁠ ⁠ While cherry blossoms look more impressive with their huge density, I think plum blossoms have wonderful charm with a more minimalist and delicate look.⁠ ⁠ There are few gardens in Japan that have great plum blossoms and the one at Nabana no Sato is stunning, featuring many weeping plums.⁠ ⁠ Follow @juliuspang to see more of beautiful Japan!⁠ ⁠ #Japan #exploringjapan #hanami #梅 #flowers #japangarden #Aichi #Nagoya #nabananosato #cherryblossom #sakura #ptk_japan #japan_daytime_view #lovers_nippon #instatravel #ig_japan #igtravel #japantravels #VisitJapanAU #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #VisitJapan #journeythroughjapan #passionpassport #japantravelphoto #traveldeeper #BDTeam #写真好きな人と繋がりたい #otonatabi_japan #tokyocameraclub⁠
Torii gate at Konpira Shrine, Shosanbetsu (金比羅神社)⁠ ⁠ While torii can be found all over Japan, there are relatively few that are located in water. Most of these "floating torii" are located well off the beaten track so you can find yourself being the only person around if you make the effort to get there.⁠ ⁠ It's rewarding being able to photograph this kind of subject in complete peace and isolation, then simply enjoy the scene once shooting is done.⁠ ⁠ I hope to get a chance to show this special spot to other travellers on a special Hokkaido tour in future.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #torii #鳥居 #Hokkaido #Japan #instagood #instatravel #ig_japan #japantrip #bnwlandscape #longexposure #beautifuldestinations #photooftheday #worldtravelbook #bnw_captures #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #igersjp #beautifuldestinations #nikontop #ptk_japan #AGameofTones #japantravels #VisitJapanAU #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #VisitJapan #visitjapanjp #tokyocameraclub
Floating Torii of Ōuo Shrine (大魚神社の海中鳥居)⁠ ⁠ This beautiful set of 3 torii gates can be found in Saga Prefecture in the Ariake Sea. They are part of Ōuo Shrine which dates back over 300 years.⁠ ⁠ Legend has it that local residents invited a corrupt magistrate to a part on nearby Okinoshima island. There they got him drunk and abandoned him. The magistrate prayed to the god Ryujin to be rescued and a giant fish called "Namiouo" came to help him, ferrying him back on his back to the mainland. The magistrate built a shrine to show his gratitude to Namiouo, and named Ōuo Shrine, which translates to "large fish shrine".⁠ ⁠ In this area there is a tidal range of up to 6m, which is the largest in Japan. This is a really nice peaceful spot to watch the sun go down, and walk around the torii gates watching the tide come in.⁠ ⁠ #torii #鳥居 #Saga #佐賀県 #Japan #coast #instagood #instatravel #ig_japan #japantrip #ilovejapan #bnwlandscape #Bnw_Greatshots #longexposure #beautifuldestinations #worldtravelbook #bnw_captures #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #igersjp #beautifuldestinations #ptk_japan #AGameofTones #japantravels #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #VisitJapan #visitjapanjp #tokyocameraclub #東京カメラ部界
Ebisu Iwa and Daikoku Iwa (えびす岩・大黒岩)⁠ ⁠ These two rocks are shintai (神体, "body of the kami") - physical objects where gods (kami) reside. They are named after two famous deities, Ebisu and Daikoku.⁠ ⁠ Ebisu is the god of fishermen and luck, and Daikoku is the god of farmers and wealth. They are often paired together and are part of the Seven Gods of Fortune (七福神, Shichifukujin). Both will bring you good fortune, but they didn't help me with the freezing weather while I was shooting!⁠ ⁠ Ebisu Iwa and Daikoku Iwa are a beautiful photography subject along the stunning western Hokkaido coast. I'm looking forward to including this place in a new Hokkaido winter tour next year.⁠ ⁠ #Hokkaido #Japan #coast #instagood #instatravel #ig_japan #japantrip #ilovejapan #bnwlandscape #Bnw_Greatshots #longexposure #beautifuldestinations #photooftheday #worldtravelbook #bnw_captures #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #igersjp #beautifuldestinations #nikontop #ptk_japan #AGameofTones #japantravels #VisitJapanAU #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #VisitJapan #visitjapanjp #tokyocameraclub #東京カメラ部⁠ ⁠
Bentenjima Red Torii, 弁天島シンボルタワー(赤鳥居)⁠ ⁠ At an impressive 18m in height, this huge torii gate stands in the middle of Lake Hamana just off Benten Island (Bentenjima). The red torii is the symbol of Bentenjima and is also named Bentenjima Symbol Tower.⁠ ⁠ The red torii is a known spiritual "power spot" and is famous for its sunset view in the torii around winter solstice. I'll have to revisit to see that next time round!⁠ ⁠ @instagram #torii #鳥居 #Hamamatsu #浜松市 #弁天島 #Japan #静岡県 #clouds #bentenjima #toriigate #instagood #instatravel #ig_japan #beautifuldestinations #photooftheday #worldtravelbook #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #igersjp #beautifuldestinations #nikontop #ptk_japan #japantravels #VisitJapanAU #JapanRevealed #VisitJapanUS #VisitJapan #visitjapanjp #tokyocameraclub #ファインダー越しの私の世界
