Atop the only rise for 500 miles I prepared to get a few Outback sunset shots. Then, as though from nowhere, a car appeared, out sprang the occupants who rushed into my foreground to get their point and shoot shots. Every adversity is an opportunity, this photo bombing was mine.

Australia

A spectacular sunset on the western plains of New South Wales and the only three for miles to break the hosizon.

Sunset on the endless flat plains of outback South Australia. This shot taken at Coober Pedy, a town 846 Km north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. The town is sometimes referred to as the "opal capital of the world" because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called "dugouts", where most of the population live due to the scorching daytime temperatures.

Not so cool anymore

Shot somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Western Australia

On the way to Uluru in Australia. Such a magical place.

I am back from my lovely week away in Northern Victoria.

This was taken on my first evening away. A quick dash out to try to find somewhere to photograph sunset when I noticed the sky change colour. Saw this lovely farm gate, open, so figured it was an invitation to photograph the fast disappearing sunset!

Hope everyone is doing fine and I will try to catch up with you all soon!

As I took the shot, I glands to the left and saw a ball running towards me was a quick dash over the fence

Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers

Second visit to the windmill and second attempt at night sky shooting. Tried much higher ISO and D800 tonight. The outback night sky is amazing!

I remember being sad about missing this beautiful moth's eclosion, but you can't win them all!

My travelling companion, a visitor from Chile, took this shot through the windscreen when we came up behind a truck somewhere in outback South Australia. Of course, he had his eye on the map of Australia on the back of the trailer, and the Kangaroo warning sign
