Exploring

Exploration.  Commonly restricted to the domain of primary-aged children and troubled teens.  For a very long time, I wanted to be a full-time explorer; charting unknown lands.  Unfortunately my aversion to long periods without a shower put an end to that dream.  Until I stumbled upon this website

Urban Exploration (Urbex/ UE/Infiltration) involves the exploration of restricted urban spaces; abandoned, restricted or otherwise unused.  The above website is Melbourne-specific, whilst this flickr account is global

Summer

Long days, sweat, sand, dry grass, kids walking around in their undies, travels, food and ice-cream as the 4th meal of the day.

The Commonage

Welcome.  A word inscribed on doormats and airport signs the world over.  The Commonage is a blog aspiring to achieve it's namesake; the state of being held in common.  It will feature photographs, music, film and perhaps some other things.  I hope you enjoy it.
