I am not sure from what period these microscopes are from but I assume pre-1950s. Either way, they look awesome.

I am trying to decided on a licence for these, so they can be used as reference photos. As such, these photos are under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence.

Additional notes:

• Derivatives (Remix) are allowed!
• If you are using these in artwork etc. you do not need to attribute me, it would be nice, but you don’t need to.
• The attribution is required if you use the photo as is, or if it is recognisably this photo i.e. resized, cropped, distorted etc.
• I had a bit of a dilemma over the Non Commercial, and decided that they can be used for commercial purposes.
• If you want a high resolution version of one of these photos, ask nicely, I will send it too you at my discretion.

Now the photos:

Another photo dump. This time from photos taken on two trips to Canberra and surrounds last year. There are heaps more photos below the fold including beach photos (from a day trip down to the coast), buildings (mostly that weird one on the foreshore that houses somesort of musical instrument) and photos of the burnt out husk of the observatory.

A few photos (well, I am not going to show the hundreds of photos I took of rock core) from a couple of trips out to the Cosmos mine site so I could collect data for my honours project. I had the opportunity to go down in the mine when I first went there in Jan 2007, and again in June/July. Can’t say I am hugely fond of working underground. It is muggy, dark, dusty and very hot. And when a truck or bogger starts up it is incredibly loud.

There are more photos below the fold. 

Sometimes being a geologist is just sooo horrible. Look at all these awful places I went to on my last fieldtrip/course.
