QUILPIE TRAX

This series was created when I was having a difficult time and found that all my reserves seemed to point me in a creative direction, and didn’t I have fun with it! If you are ever not coping with life, be creative! It brings you out of the doldrums in a big way! The satisfaction of seeing something that you created is a wonderful feeling. I hope that this feeling comes across in these series, created in December 2008.

Has anyone else noticed how much this person Anonymous wrote & no-one seems to know where he lived, what he looked like?! He was so talented, wasn’t he?!

This photograph of Queensland Railway Tracks was taken in February 2005. It is taken in the morning between Quilpie and Charleville, looking west. There is more to come in this series, still being created! This card (graphics) were designed in December 2008, using Photoshop. If purchasing as a motivational, inspirational or greeting card, the BLACK background blends is well with the black border. It is available up to POSTER size, if that is your desire! I only hope that you find this as inspiring as I found it when creating it!

    Gorgeous Vicki !
    I didn’t know railways were so colourful!!!
    Hope you didn’t get sconned being down on the tracks!!! lol
    Chookas! X♥X

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    It is fairly isolated out there and so not much chance of being sconned (unless you wanted to be and even then I think the train driver would have plenty time to stop when he saw you!!! The ground may not have been that red and the tracks so blue but they were a variation of these colours! Our outback is very colourful!

    Oh and Anonymous was Female she lived in Australia she had 8 kids and no bloody useless man and she used to run the school canteen! ☺

    PS they reckon Creativity is a damned good antidote to Depression so it’s the first activity you are given to get back on track …. errr had to the pun was screaming at me to write it! lol

    Chookas! ♥

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    (bugger, i put another red x in your comment above!! I don’t know HOW I do that!)
    Thank you for the informationon about Anonymous!! Is she still alive? Does she get royalties? Her 8 kids must be VERY wise!!
    Yes, and creativity seems to be pushed by the ‘stuff’ that we go through, making us all the wiser (we hope!!). And then we realise life is short and then we can all have a laugh about it on RB! Thanks for the smiles adgray! Great stuff! Vicki :))) grinning here….

    I agree with Ralphy – this is a fabulous shot. It looks hot and I like heat haze effect – in fact it is making me thirsty…... I’m off for a drink lol!

  • Vicki Ferrari replied

    Did you enjoy your drink?!! Glad that it stirred something even if it wasn’t emotional!!! Might be a bad photo to have ‘out there’ if it makes people drink more (water, or whatever!) Thanks for the visit, fellow Triffidian! Vicki :)))
