THE NECK - Bruny Island TAS Australia 2008 by pixeltrekker

This is The Neck, Bruny Island. Bruny Island Tasmania is actually two Islands separated by a narrow isthmus known as The Neck. Originally traveling across the Neck was confined to the low tide. The Government then added fill in the form of rocks etc and then Nature did the rest. This must be about THE most photographed vista on Bruny Island… THE Tourist pic. Every photographer wants to do it differently; I chose a night shot to illustrate just how narrow the Neck is by using the tail lights of the cars from the last ferry from Kettering to Roberts Point on Bruny Island. 200 ISO, 12mm Nikkor 12-24mm F4.0 98 seconds. I was amazed just how much movement I got in the stars in that short time. MY HOME .

Swirling Clouds by Tainia Finlay

Taken yesterday, 26.07.08 on the Western Slopes and Plains, central NSW. The winter sunset was lack lustre … the colours of the sky & whispy swirling clouds before it sank made up for that entirely. Thank you for looking.

Days of Old by Iain Houston

Exploring the old basin at Bowling, I couldn’t believe how many boats had just been left to rot. These two were the most photogenic I thought, and here, we’re looking east along the River Clyde towards the Erskine Bridge. It’s an interesting place, and I plan to go back soon.
Field of Dreams by Iain Houston

Heading back from the Fife coast after a great day with the cameras, we stopped outside Auchtermuchty when we saw these fields full of Rapeseed. It was a nice end to a great day, and I like this one a lot.

Tasman Bridge II by Gwenda Oxley

This was taken from Cornelian Bay, looking East. The Tasman Bridge is a five-lane bridge crossing the Derwent River, near the CBD of Hobart, Tasmania. The bridge has a total length (including approaches) of 1,395 meters (4,576 ft) – longer than the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It provides the main traffic route from the CBD (on the western shore) to the eastern shore – particularly Hobart International Airport and Bellerive Oval. / In the 1950s with the development of the Eastern shore (the old Hobart Bridge faced increasing difficulty in managing the larger volumes of traffic, and the bridge itself – constantly raising the lift span for shipping) it was decided to build a larger bridge. Construction commenced in May, 1960 and the bridge was first opened to traffic (2 lanes only) on August 18, 1964. The bridge was completed with all four lanes operational on December 23, 1964. It was officially opened on March 18, 1965 by H. R. H. Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester. Tasman Bridge disaster: / On Sunday January 5, 1975, at 9:27 p.m. Australian Eastern Summer Time, the Tasman Bridge was struck by the bulk ore carrier Lake Illawarra bound for the Electrolytic Zinc Company with a cargo of 10,000 tons of zinc concentrate. It caused two pylons and three sections of concrete decking, totaling 127 meters (417 ft), to fall from the bridge and sink the ship. Seven of the ship’s crewmen were killed, and five motorists died when four cars drove over the collapsed sections before the traffic was stopped. The depth of the river at this point (35 metres (115 ft) is such that the wreck of Lake Illawarra lies on the bottom, with concrete slab on top of it, without presenting a navigation hazard to smaller vessels.
