A picture depicting the aftermath of the development. The sand dunes and all its vegetation and habitat are now gone and all that is left are level lots for development. Its a barren scene but hauntingly beautiful in its own way. Poignant even.
The continuing work on the Ocean Reef Marina. I love the colours and the Heavy machinery shapes on this sunny day. The dust and exhaust add to the feel of the situation.

12.8mm is 35mm equivalent.
It's a little bittersweet for me to see this old Kmart being torn down. It's been a staple in Kent, WA for over 40 years. I spent 13 years of my life working there. Sad to see it go....
They're making a helluva racket on Richmond St. over the past few months, laying some sort of jumbo plumbing. They dig, lay pipe, put in temporary plates and asphalt, then return in a month to dig it up again and do some other kinda thing. I'm sure there's a method to the madness but when you're trying to listen or talk in a meeting, it can feel like giant sand worms are burrowing through the street - sometimes the whole house shakes! This gear was occupying our usual parking spot one morning.
Today's story and sketch by me 1470, is an amazing story of the most amazing family reunion, to take place on this Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga, in many years. This Tale began just moments ago, when our Zombie Deputy Blue, was out in the Budahunga Chocolate Banana region, watching for poachers, when a Huge Blue Dimension Dust Devil appeared, Blue followed it for many miles at a safe distance, when suddenly it slowed and touched down next to the banana tree pictured, and dropped the skid steer backhoe and it's pedestrian operator, to the ground. Which would not be that much of an amazing story, except the Pedestrian Operator, is Deputy Blues own Dad, who he hasn't seen in forty some years. Blue himself was abducted by a Big Blue Dimension Dust Devil, from the Planet Pommoo. Forty years ago a very similar Dust Devil picked up Blue on Pommoo, circled Budahunga for about an hour before dropping Blue into Lake Budahunga. Luckily Blue is an excellent swimmer. This will be a very interesting Zombie Family Reunion story for another time, until then Tata the Rod Blog.
Loved the way the sunset light hit this backhoe while the skies in the background were still dark and moody from recent rain.

This attaches to my Bobcat track loader. I removed it from an early 1950's Case tractor, then adapted it to the the track loader via a quick attachment plate and two quick release hydraulic hose fittings. There was a section with two hydraulic cylinders, where the attachment plate is now, that raised and lowered the unit when on the tractor. It is not needed now as the loader's lift arms do that job. The triangular frame serves as the base (outrigger) for stability when in use.
