Well done!

Great pictures, clouds would be a good photo challenge (or has it already been done).
On that subject all that tin - did you think to take any 'rust' pictures ?

Thanks all.
The first pic was with the lens on min zoom (about 18mm) so is a wide angle shot, the clouds co operating nicely :) The polarizer helps make the sky a deeper blue than otherwise.
Ironically most of the tin seemed to be in fairly good condition, not a lot of rust. The ocean was only a few 100 metres away too. Apparently the occupants get unlimited fresh water from a bore, they say the water is very clean having been filtred by all that sand. Sounds like an idyllic life style.

I want some of that weather!

What a wierd place. No lawn mowers Mick, but I bet they own a lot of sand rakes :D :rofl:

Don't know if I trust that round brick chimney in strong winds (pic 3) or is it 3 barrels stacked on top of each other? :shrug:
