In 2011, I was fortunate enough to visit the nation's capital of
Canberra for a week. I had only just discovered the instagram photo app and used it like crazy while I was over there. (I'm trying to cut back a bit at the moment as I realised I was starting to neglect all other cameras and forms of photography! Eeeshk!)
Canberra is a beautiful, picturesque, designed city. As the seat of parliament, it is also a city of significance, awash with history (which I think makes the old timey instagram filters fitting on these pictures) art, culture and politics. I wish I had a photo of the Aboriginal Embassy to put up here as well as that was such an important part of the experience. See more of my Canberra instagram snaps
here.
I learnt so much on this trip; you always do when you travel. Even if you're travelling within your home country, your sense of appreciation for its complexity is completely expanded.
Here's hoping for more a bit more travel in 2012! I'll cross my fingers if you will!
Mood: iced coffee and a red t-shirt with little white polka dots all over it
