Nice thing about flats boats they can skim across water depths as little as six inches at 50 mph!
The Sigma 150-600 has become my go to. On the Canon full frames it allows for a lot of crop and edit.

"Langi Flats, a pair of apartment buildings designed by renowned architect Walter Burley Griffin, and built in 1925 & 1926, are significant at the state level for architectural and aesthetic reasons.
Walter Burley Griffin, in association with his wife Marion Mahoney, was the most remarkable and individualistic architect in Australia during his stay between 1913 and 1935. The Langi Flats are unusual in his oeuvre for displaying more of the style features of his earlier American projects, after leaving the office of Frank Lloyd Wright. Important features include the low horizontal eaves, the complex geometric decoration on the capitals of the front pylons, the decortive iron panels window spandrels and the matching gates on the north block.
The use of native trees (in this case lemon scented gums) in the front lawn displays Griffin's interest in Australian flora for suburban gardens. It is believed that Edna Walling later designed the north garden at the rear of the flats.
Aesthetically, the flats are attractive as a large, yet sensitively scaled building, with a horizontal, ground hugging emphasis, set behind sweeping lawns studded with a row of large native trees."

Fun to see the historic Bonneville Salt Flats today! We usually see images of the salt flats after the water has evaporated...Ground water slowly flows towards the Salt Flats from the surrounding watershed, picks up dissolved minerals along the way, and percolates up to the surface via a shallow brine aquifer. When temperatures rise in the late spring and summer months, the salt water rapidly evaporates in the heat, and the minerals are left behind to form the salt crust. During the cooler months of the year (November to May), evaporation slows down and the ground water floods the Salt Flats several inches deep. Wind, periodic rainstorms, and regional climate also play an important part in changing salt crust conditions throughout each year.

The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula is a dense region of dust and gas found within the considerably larger star forming region IC 1396 in Cepheus constellation. Designated IC 1396A, the elongated globule of dust and gas was named the Elephant’s Trunk because it resembles an elephant’s head and trunk at visible wavelengths, appearing as a dark patch with a bright winding rim. It is located at a distance of 2,400 light years from Earth.
My first attempt at traditional Hubble Colour Palette in SHO Narrowband. Got lucky with a run of clear skies, so managed over 16hrs of capture. Spending time understanding more about Pixinsight processing. It’s going to be long road, but rewarding. Many versions of post processing before this one to achieve this tone, but time to move on.

Most people who follow me know I serve up a bit of a mixed salad of shots coming from my rather catholic choice of interests and subjects. Today is no different with four shots, about the last from our country drive to Toogoolawah in the Brisbane (River) Valley earlier this year.
I rather like Art Deco design and this old urban block of flats, no doubt made from asbestos cement sheets or fibro as is the common terminology in Australia stands in a Toogoolawah back street. Despite its rather austere look, enough Art Deco showed through to capture my attention.
It was probably built for local rural or timber mill workers back in the period and still has welcome across its old walls.

In this quiet area of rare beauty, no need for barbed wire. Those parcels of land are all surrounded by low walls whose top is bristled with flat stones.

Two words that we use a lot to decribe our own country, the Netherlands. The 'flat' part definitely is true except for some scattered 'hills' here and there, the highest point in our country is 321 meter.....
The 'wet' part is more a like a complaint because as far as I know, of every 24 hours most of them are dry and not wet......
(I'll try to catch up with your posts, I'm nearly threee weeks behind....)
