Dark Flight
As I approached this abandoned place on the train line in Toowoomba a flock of birds took flight from the roof. They circled it for for a few minutes, enough time for me to get this shot.
ISO 200, f13, 1/125 with nd4 grad.
Converted to three exposures for hdr.
Dark Flight belongs to the following groups:
Abandoned Dark Creepy, Dilapidated Buildings, Queensland and Ruins, Ancient and Derelict Buildings Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Great capture Bensound! And it looks cold, like Toowoomba too! Great HDR, fave! Whereabouts in Toowoomba is this? Is it a fair way out of town?
bensound replied
Hi Vicki, no it’s not out of town at all, it’s just about 1k North from the main train staion along the line, just keep driving along the train line and you’ll find it !
Garth Smith
