My happy place is Tasmania.
This week’s photo challenge ties in perfectly with our six month anniversary of moving to this island state at the bottom of Australia.
Tasmania is open space, nature, being outdoors.
Ocean beaches, white sand, rugged cliffs.
Harbours, boats and peaceful rivers.
Bush walks, coastal paths, mountains and lakes.
Sunrises, sunsets, rainbows and views.
I love living in Hobart, tucked between Mount Wellington and the river Derwent. A small city with great restaurants, bars, museums and galleries, with festivals, sports, yachts and estuary beaches.
I still can’t believe that I am living this life. That we turned an idea in the UK, into a dream, into a reality.
I am so fortunate to be living in my “happy place”.
Lovely photos – glad you came here and that I met you.

It does seem to offer all that I would want in a happy place. Your photos are beautiful. But I’d be cold in Winter, wouldn’t I? 🙂

Most people get to visit their happy place but not live there. You are one lucky woman. 🙂 I have never seen boulders with a line of color like that – amazing.

Absolutely beautiful shots – well done. we visited Tasmania years ago but didn’t get to Hobart – a big mistake. Will have to fix it one of these days. Esp like the shot of the sailboat mast reflections.

Love your latest week’s photo theme. I can’t help but concur with your sentiments about Tasmania. And it makes me think most of the snapshot I take are of some variation of the happy place that is Tasmania – but mine are not quality images like yours. I guess we each have our passion.
