Thread: Road pics

It sort of tells me what the crow thinks about them girly bloody snakes actually.

You ever seen a Death adder. They need a name like that to make them sound tough. They're short and fat and obviously have issues with it.


Now another place I went to that had some kill ya ded type of critters was here...




Go swimming here and you are 'gator bait. Louisiana Bayou.



And another kind of nasty critter hangs out here...



Oh wait. That's just me in front of my favourite watering hole in N'orleans...

This picture jogged something in my memory and I remembered this. This is 1.5 miles North of my house and about 2 miles West. I crossed the line 4 times today. Notice the ugly snow. This is my least favorite time of the year . As the snow melts everything is muddy and there is nothing uglier than a dirty snow bank.

This one ended up sideways. Not bad for a $29 phone!

Jean Lafitte's is great, those "Hurricanes" are a real treat!

I reread my last post and realized I probably crossed the 45th parallel over 15 times today trying to get a readable picture with the sun shining on the rock or my screen while trying to take a picture!

I went to rotate this picture and thought is this Old Man Winter with his hands in the air saying, "I give up." to the Spring sun?

Been away camping over Easter.
Decided to have a play with the camera - trying out some macro & some panoramic shots...

We are nearing the end of one of the driest summers on record.
Half the country has been declared a drought zone.
This measuring pole (not even in the water) is above the weir that collects water for our city & outlying areas.




Not much flow over the weir....




down-river has become down-stream

Those are some beautiful photos & a pleasure to look at.
Thank you.

On the way to work this morning, at around 0740, the sun was orange and low on the horizon, shining though the fog settled in a paddock. The sheep seemed unaware of the incredibly beautiful sight, yet I was ecstatic.

I should say as I drove away from taking the photo (a crappy phone pic) I noticed a contrail from a plane in the sky, and wondered if it were actually from a North Korean nuke headed our way (to Pine Gap, maybe). I said a little prayer...

Excellent! I used to trade in cameras and have had a few twin lens relexes, mainly mamiya. I still have my RB67 - lovely camera - Agfa Super Ikonta, Agfa and Zeiss 6x6's and a three or so Voigtlander Bessas - one very old but as pristine as the day it was made, and two later Bessa IIs - superb cameras. I got into developing and printing in a big way - mixing my own developers and then developing large format film in PMK, Amidol and ABC Pyro under safe-light inspection and printing on Kodak Azo paper and papers that I had sensitized myself. This soon gave way to printing 5" x 7" and 10" x 8" negatives from an old Gandolfi and a Kodak Field camera in printing frames in sunlight. Cyanotypes, Van Dykes, Ambrotypes, etc, etc, etc all followed. My, it was such fun. Sadly, I haven't been in my darkroom for 10 years or more now.

However - the topic was road pictures. Here's one of dear mother-in-law coming to visit:
