Captain Quirk is always looking for unusual angles, for variations on a theme, for new ways to render old truths.
This image is the Captain’s unusual slant on a selfie, taken next to a parking lot in Cradle Mountain National Park. For a reason that I can no longer remember there was, on this stretch of road, one of those convex mirrors that are designed give drivers a wider view of their surroundings. Captain Quirk decided that photographing it would give a unique view of her good self, of her immediate surroundings and of the distant mountains.
See what you think:

"Platypus" is a red herring: I'm English, although my blogging career began in my record of a 2016 road trip to Tasmania. Other blogs followed covering road trips in Newfoundland (2017), the Yellowstone area of the USA (2018) and New Zealand (2019). My current project is "Now I'm 64" , a weekly blog covering UK travel and wildlife, along with bits of history, social commentary and moans about the injustice of aging. I can guarantee a few laughs, and also the occasional rant. Some of it's even quite well written!
