Who I am is what fulfills me and what fulfills the vision I have of a world.
Audre Lorde

The true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness: It is here in the present. ... Whatever our initial vision of spiritual life, to be authentic, it must be fulfilled here and now, in the place where we live.
Jack Kornfield, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
Senior session. Started late and just ran out of light. No problem...
She was standing in the water while I was setting up the Quadra. I needed a flashlight to see, and when I aimed it at the water, this is what I got. The quadra is behind me with a softlighter and I just used the LED modeling light for fill.

The Parkes Radiothermal Telescope, completed in 1961, was the brainchild of E.G. (Taffy) Bowen, chief of the CSIRO's Radiophysics Laboratory. During the Second World War, he had worked on radar development in the US and had made some powerful friends in the scientific community. Calling on this old boy network, he persuaded two philanthropic organisations, the Carnegie Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation to fund half the cost of the telescope. It was this recognition and key financial support from the US that persuaded then Prime Minister Robert Menzies to agree to fund the rest of the project.
The primary observing instrument is the 64-metre movable dish telescope, second largest in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of the first large movable dishes in the world (DSS-43 'Deep Space Station'-43 at Tidbinbilla was extended from 64 m to 70 m in 1987, surpassing Parkes). After its completion it has operated almost continuously to the present day. The dish surface was physically upgraded by adding smooth metal plates to the central part to provide focusing capability for centimetre and millimetre length microwaves. The outer part of the dish remains a fine metal mesh, creating its distinctive two-tone appearance.
The 18m dish antenna in the foreground of the photo was transferred from the Fleurs Observatory (Mills Cross) in 1963. It was used as a transmit uplink antenna in the Apollo program and has been abandoned since the early 1980s.
The telescope has an altazimuth mount. It is guided by a small mock-telescope placed within the structure at the same rotational axes as the dish, but with an equatorial mount. The two are dynamically locked when tracking an astronomical object by a laser guiding system. This primary-secondary approach was designed by Barnes Wallis.
The success of the Parkes telescope led NASA to copy the basic design in their Deep Space Network, with matching 64 m dishes built at Goldstone, Madrid and Tidbinbilla

As built the RC class were 49 seaters, later reduced to 43 when luggage racks were fitted for the 727 Airport Express.

The AEC Reliance was one of the most successful heavy duty passenger chassis ever, however the 14-strong RC class of Green Line coaches new to LTB in 1965 did not live up to this reputation.
