Thanks midzing … this was actually inspired by your Industrial wasteland . The chimney/outlet thing reminded me of a factory shot I took from the window of the Ghan a few years ago, and I added the rusty car from the recent Wintersun Festival on the Gold Coast.
thanks Murray … I’d worked on the factory image before but hadn’t come up with anything worth uploading. The addition of the rusty car seems to be what it needed.
Wow, that’s an impressive lineup of photos, Matt! I went to the Gold Coast for Wintersun last year, and everything was rained out, and missed this year cos it looked like the same thing would happen. I’ll make it one day! No #75 looks like a lady who lives across the road from me! Is that Harry in the last couple of shots?
Mel, I’d been putting off going to Wintersun for years because of the crowds, but this year I went for the first time, leaving home at 8am on Sunday. Parking was relatively easy. By the time I got to the main drag the rain started pouring down. Didn’t last long, and the overcast conditions were ideal for photography. Someone I know went along at midday when the sun had come out and the contrast was too strong for decent photos. The dog is a stranger … didn’t get his name.

another wonderful car piece from you Matt
Matt Mawson replied
thanks Sharon … I took the background image an hour or so after we said our farewells on the railway platform (Feb 2005).
