A black and white photograph of the Elliston Jetty extending straight into the ocean under a bright sky.

The wooden planks and metal railings lead the eye towards the distant horizon.

Solar powered lights line the jetty, casting long shadows. Several seagulls rest on the railing and the deck.

Black and white photo of a long, covered walkway with evenly spaced vertical wooden posts on both sides. The ceiling features built-in lights that cast a rhythmic glow along the path. The brick-paved floor is arranged in a grid pattern. On the right, glass panels display abstract designs or graffiti, reflecting the lights and surroundings. The perspective creates a strong vanishing point effect, emphasizing depth and symmetry.

A large, mature Eucalyptus tree (river gum) with smooth, light colored bark stands on the dry, leaf littered bank of a wide, tranquil river.

The low morning sun casts a warm, golden glow on the tree trunk and branches, contrasting with the cool blue of the sky and the dark green trees on the opposite bank.

The water is calm and reflects the foliage. Signed Kev Peirce.

A photograph of a lone, sprawling green tree in the center of a dry, expansive paddock, likely rural Australia.

The ground in the foreground is covered in blurred pale, dry grass, and a thin wire fence runs horizontally across the middle ground.

A smaller, taller tree stands slightly behind and above the main tree. The background is a gently rising, blurred, ochre colored hill topped with a line of dark distant trees under a bright sky.

A photograph showing a single story, pale cream colored house with a pink/red corrugated iron roof and trim, sitting on a rocky, grassy slope.

The house is surrounded by dense, rugged Tasmanian bushland. A small outbuilding is visible to the right. The foreground is blurred, giving the photo a slightly miniaturized, focused effect.

The bird's long beak is visible. The water behind the railing is a clear, bright turquoise-blue under a lighter blue sky.

A dramatic, low angle black and white photograph looking up into the canopy of a large tree with long, sparse, twisting branches reaching across a cloudy, textured sky.

A few leaves and a palm frond are visible lower down, but the overall feeling is one of stark, silhouetted branches against the bright, overcast sky.

A white, multi decked paddle steamer, the Proud Mary, cruises on a wide river. The boat is seen from the shore, framed in the foreground by dark, out of focus tree branches hanging down from the top left.

The banks of the river are lined with a dense forest of Australian gum trees under an overcast sky. The water is calm and the atmosphere is tranquil.

A wide angle, tilt shift style photograph showing a panoramic view of The Nut (a flat-topped, ancient volcanic plug) and the surrounding coastline in Stanley, Tasmania.

The sheer, grassy cliffs of The Nut dominate the center, overlooking a crescent shaped sandy beach, turquoise ocean water, and a small town. The foreground is a grassy hill leading down toward the beach road.

A slightly weathered, pale stone statue of the Virgin Mary, standing with arms slightly extended and palms open in the classic posture of the Miraculous Medal, rests upon a polished, dark gray granite grave ledger.

The ledger is open like a book, with faint gold lettering visible on the pages. The statue is the central focus, sharply defined against the soft focus of light coloured floral arrangements on the left and darker foliage on the right.

A small watermark, "GARDENS OF THE SILENT," appears in the lower right corner, and the signature "© Bron Peirce" is in the lower left.

A quiet moment beneath the Pirita Bridge, where concrete strength meets the soft flow of water and light. The monochrome tones reveal a calm tension between movement and stillness - an urban landscape suspended in time.

The trees have sparse upper branches and dense crowns, dominating the frame above a lower canopy of foliage. The overall mood is dramatic and atmospheric.

A black and white photograph framed by the dark, out of focus stone columns of a ruin. In the center, across a body of water and a narrow path, is a small, white, clapboard cottage with dark windows and a chimney, nestled against a densely wooded hillside.

The image has a vignette effect, focusing the viewer on the distant cottage.
