Wings For Houdini ( 2 ) by

This weekend in Australia was the Anniversary of the first controlled, powered flight of an airplane in Australia, at Digger’s Rest in Victoria ( 18 March 1910 ) and was achieved by Harry Houdini who was visiting Australia from the USA
This location is only a 15 minute drive from where I live, so I went along to the Melton Airfield here in Central Victoria for some wonderful scene’s.
This is an ongoing set of images from that Festival of Flight.

taken with a Panasonic Lumix FZ30 point & shoot camera, then with a small touch of HDR.
