By Mary Regan, Bulletin 9/2025, November

We have two photos to share this month. Thanks to Lucie Loane for her black and white ‘Jubilee Park’ scene, and to Stephen Foster for ‘Spring Sunshine’.

Judges’ comments on ‘Jubilee Park’ spoke of enjoyment of a quiet moment, and evocative silhouette with adult and child sharing a tranquil meal by the park, both raising their hands to their mouths in the same captured moment. ‘Spring Sunshine’ has been chosen as the Photo of the Month, with morning sunlight shining softly through one of our beautiful old fig trees, and the pathway leading us around to the Anzac Bridge, and the Harbour Bridge in the distance. With this photo Stephen will go into the running for the overall Photo of the Year.
