A royal visit?
Ziggy and Molly parked by the Murray Princess at the Mary Ann reserve in Mannum, South Australia.
The reserve is newly refurbished after the devestating floods of 2023 with newly laid turf, and what seemed to be all new concrete kerbs and freshly laid bitumen here in the car park. For an idea of the flood level, the water got as high as the top of the posts on the rotunda on the right, so where I was standing, my head would have been several feet underwater.

A forced perspective shot of my 1/18th scale diecast model cars with the real backdrop of the Murray Princess and the reserve at Mannum on the Murray River.
The cars (Molly and Ziggy) are the 1955 Mercedes Benz 190 SL, and the 1961 AC Cobra. Both models by Norev.
Very grateful to the friendly locals here as the best place for my tripod mounted set up was right smack in the middle of the through lane in the car-park! Thankfully the traffic was light and the few motorists coming through were happy to slowly edge around me while I gestured all sorts of apologies and thanks! Even the lady and gent at the picnic table were reluctant to "spoil" my shot until I encouraged them to go ahead and sit there as it added some life to the shot.
