[Capture Challenge] Charge your battery and take some photos

No … there are some in a park I sometimes visit here in greater Brisbane. When next I am there I can procure the evidence (photographic, natch :wink: )

Somehow this evoked to me the scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey where the viewer is outside the Discovery and can see into the lighted flight deck inside. It’s interestingly warm compared to the outside conditions but still non-human because all you see is the ceiling.

The group looks like a grotesque sculpture at this time of the year.
Sit down with your Christmas nuts for 10 minutes, and you will know how to crack them.

Staying at home due to nasty cold :face_with_thermometer:

The storm’s a-comin’…

The clouds were looking good just before sunset! A line of thunderstorms was forecast to roll through about an hour after sunset (which it did!) so there was a nice combination of warm light and cold clouds before the sun set. This was on the Red River in central Louisiana.

I like photos like this – glimpses into everyday life elsewhere. I’ve always been struck by how much (superficially at least) Australian towns often remind me of American towns. There’s a real difference in the overall exterior look of European / Asian towns in general but Aussie towns tend to look like American. At least to my eyes.

That is other than you lot parking on the wrong side of the road! LOL :smiley:

P. S. - There’s a minor typo in the linked-to article about the clock tower… at least the way I read it:

  • “The clocktower commemorates Doctor Montague Evershed (1841 -1947) who practised in Bega for more than fifty years.”

vs.

  • “Dr. Montague Frederick Evershed died early yesterday in his 87th year.
    . . .
    The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW), 17 June 1927.

I was initially thinking, “wow he lived to 106!” :slight_smile:

Me, too

It’s probably due to the large spaces, I’m looking at the road in front of the clock, and I think that in Italy there would be at least 4 lanes and a cycle path.

Who’s the equivalent of Stephen Shore or the “new topographic” lot in Australia? Seems ripe for it

Apart from the lack of an auto industry
