Sunset Strip

This town died when the railway that
sustained its existence re-routed.
An eerie ghost town with faded shop fronts
and a host of photographic possibilities -
especially during a stormy sunset –
draping life over this faded facade and (almost)
lifeless town.
Terowie SA 2007
Taken on a three day trip from Barossa to Broken Hill to Mildura looking for typical australiana to grace the 2008 CoolDrive calendar.

    Thanks Paul.
    I was in a hurry to make the next town before dark so nearly
    didn’t turn off to checkout this town in outback SA.
    I am glad i did and managed to get a couple of shots
    before the light became unusable.

    Great, great light and obviously captured just at that magical moment before the sun disappears for the night. Love it Mark.

    This image makes me feel calm, the warm tones against the smokey grey/blue sky is awsum.
    Good job!
