Ballet movements

Amazing footage - an overhead view of a humpback whale surfacing through a bait ball of fish. The drone footage was captured off the coast of La Jolla, California by  DolphinDoneDom. The first eruption is the best as the whale materialises from the depths.



A bait ball occurs when small schooling fish swarm in a tightly packed spherical formation about a common centre. It is a last-ditch defensive measure adopted by small schooling fish when they are threatened by predators. You can see the birds circling attracted by the bait fish and seemingly not scared off by the whale.

Edward the Emu at Sawyer Park

An oldie but a goodie, came across the Wimmera Mail Times' recording of the children's story at the 2017 Australia Day celebrations.
The book "Edward the Emu" by Rod Clements was given a twist with a puppet acting out the scenes.
Thanks to Mary for the reading and the girls with the animals.

Time lapse

A couple of starry nights from Lost Collective
Firstly the Green Cape Lighthouse with its easily recognisable hexagonal tower -'Green Cape Astrolapse'.


And, this one of the Jincumbilly Railway Station

Lost Collective is a project by Brett Patman. Check out some of his other videos and photo galleries. 
I also enjoyed the 'To Bourke and back' and the drone footage from 'A Place to call home' and needless to say the abandoned buildings.
