Long weekend...a few pics

Pic 1 is the old Mannahill Railway Station house.
I took this photo Saturday morning as the sun had just risen and I
was driving at 70kmh with the camera out the driver's side window!
I wish I had stopped and captured a better composition.
A lovely subject. Doesn't do it justice.

Pic 2 and 3 are of a replica(?) 1915 Picnic Day train wagon
which is part of a tourist photo op on the west side of Broken Hill.
Turkish sympathisers fired on the train in 1915 in what I think was the
only hostile act during WWI on Aussie soil. Several people killed including
the two Turks.

I just love the textures of old hardwood and rusty steel. Chris from
QLD (hotspur) took a photo inside his shed one day and the whole shed
oozed old world charm of rustic textures...He does it well, I can't duplicate it.

More to follow...
