Comet McNaught from Cape Naturalist

Gday I thought being away working down in the south-west of WA and persistant cloudy weather would prevent me from catching a glimpse of Comet McNaught but thankfully I got one evening in of sighting it and grabbing a few pics.Wow what a great sight , ,I managed to find a great lookout on the coast around Cape Naturalist {north of Margaret River/Yallingup} along with many others. Series of cloud belts looked threatening but had at least 15 mins of frantic viewing through binoculars and setting the camera up and firing away. It was great to see kids and adults alike so excited

5am starts to get the afternoons off, the shots dont reveal how windy that coastline is I thought I must have been the only nutcase to venture out until a crowd started to build up
