Beautiful cake from the Blue Wren Patisserie, Daylesford, Victoria, Australia Some of the cafes, bookshops and other local businesses we really like.

All but one of these photos were taken with a 5 megapixel Sony DSC-F707 from 2002.  I used PTLens to correct pincushion / barrel distotion, and sometimes to correct chomatic abberation.
