The last thing you see...

[hector (Andrew)]

This is the last thing you see as the slobbering squelching thing that lives in the tunnel grabs you by the waist and drags you away.....

The last in a series of images taken at the Fernleigh track in the bush just south of Newcastle. originally used as a rail line for the coal industry it is now part of a cycle way connecting Belmont to Newcastle. You can find the entrance to the track not far from Kotara shopping centre and the tunnel runs under the Pacific Highway.

I had a bit of fun with this image. It is an 8 second exposure with a Nikon D300 using the 18-70mm lens at f14. Shot in Raw and then adjusted in CS3. The pool of ...... is a slight change of mine.

I'd be expecting to see Dementors haunting the tunnel.

Impressive enthusiasm Andrew. Very nice photography too. You seem to have made Fernleigh Tunnel a great deal more scary than it is in reality. I got as great shot one morning (when I still pumped my treddley up and down Fernleigh Track) of the light coming in the bottom end as I rode out of it. Your efforts are outstanding and would eclipse any effort I have made. Despite detracting from the drama, I have to let you know that the wet patch is water, not Troll excrement. The most dangerous things that pass through this tunnel are pram-pushing mothers who cannot control their tribes of Rugrats while cyclists zoom up and down the track.

I'd be looking over my shoulder all the time
