Outback Ruin
This ruin just outside Burra in South Australia was made famous as the cover art of Midnight Oil’s classic 1986 album Diesel and Dust
While there are many ruins in this area – the gateway to the outback – this oneis the most photogenic due to its classic shape and relative completeness. The rolling hills in the background also make for a picturesque scene. Just don’t be tempted to jump the fence as an ominous “No Trespassing” sign leaves you in no doubt this is an inhospitable area not only for the original settlers, but pesky tourists as well, especially those with cameras!
Outback Ruin belongs to the following groups:
Landscape Photography Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

This image really touched me. Thhe sky has so much depth to it and I love the idea that beyond the hills lies untamed land for miles and miles.

i made it to “here”;http://www.redbubble.com/people/markhiggins/art/37822-1-sunset-strip before the light disappeared, just in time to take one of my favourite photos

Lovely shot Mark. Pity about the sign as it would have been great to get in closer.

With shots like this, you’ll be re-named Ken and be required to open a gallery in Southbank! Seriously, a beautiful perspective on a really famous musical icon. I love the grad on the sky too.
