a bronze orb, a new camera and flickr
I had marvelous fun with my new Nikon D60 today at the official opening of the melbourne solar system, originally envisioned by onetonshadow and some guy they call ‘crispy’.
Anyhoo, the sculptures are friggin marvelous, we only got as far as Mars, but many return visits are planned.
There are more photos on flickr cos I don’t want to spam you with them here on RB.

That it was Tyles.
When’s the big announcment ?
Natalie Tyler
Probably once I’ve woken up tomorrow morning.
Better sleep on my decision just to be sure!

Good idea. Let everyone sweat a bit longer.
Natalie Tyler

Your side of the planet is a sea of croissants and jam. I only like to go there at breakfast time.

The Sun turd is a reasonably accurate impression of the magnetic sun spots that pepper the surface. But Sun turd is quite good too.
Cheers for making the effort sir, appreciate the support
