The Australian Weekend Magazine features Ralph Kerle

Delighted to have been featured in the Heart of the Nation section of the Australian Weekend Magazine. I am cautious with journalists.

Brush Strokes from Nature 1

I love it when I am so surprised by a shot I can't wait to share it!! Brush Strokes from Nature 1 is one of those shots. I had been kayaking in the Clontarf Marina location for weeks because I felt it might offer something. Previous shots in that location hadn't produced anything.
