The magical tap :-)

Now, if you head 20 minutes that way...you come upon a little town called Windsor in NSW Australia. Some of you may already know that It is one of Australia's oldest towns. It has a wharf and the wharf has a little secret that only the ancient locals know of...there is a little tap on the wharf and if you turn it on ...every so often..it lets out a Moondrop :-)

Thanks Tamtarn. yes I was quite fortunate …I was getting eaten alive by the mozzies on that little Wharf, It was quite by chance that I saw the this little tap and put two and two together to see if I could get a moon drop from the tap:-)
good fun!

Very clever composition. That's just down the road for me so good to see a local nightscape.

Greg.

Thanks Greg:-)
Yes I am at kellyville so just a quick 20 min driveaway at night time. I was just wondering...I was at the windsor golf course the other day and saw a gorgeous old house (near the 15th I think) so I drove around after the game as it is on the other side of the tracks and seems to be on Fairfield ave. Was gated and locked :-( Do you know what this place is?? would make a nice spooky nightscape :-)

Thanks Phil:-)
Yes this little samyang 7.5 mft was a great find. Fully manual and easy on the wallet as well! I love that the focus ring stays put even if you bang it around a bit...
