Post-sunrise photo of various construction miscellany associated with the Clipsal 500 race track. The sky had a fantastic purplish hue which sadly vanished once daylight hit.

This is not a love song for you,
it's a railway track.
Yeah this is the railway track,
and it's not about you.
the lyric of "Railway Song" by The Llama Farmers
Recently I just realized that railways can be so interesting, especially the unused ones like the picture above..I've seen this track a long time ago, along with the abandoned station..but yesterday was the first time i come to take a look at it..
With the station, the track and the beautiful rice field view, it can be a great place for a photoshoot i think...
This pic reminds me of summer season or maybe flickr summer ;) because actually there's no summer season in my beloved tropical country...only dry and rain season..and i don't know what season going on right now....it should be dry season now, but clouds are still everywhere..sigh...damn you global warming
ahh..i want to feel the..summer...holiday.....
oh, the idl fitri holidays are starting..and i got nothing to do or photowork to do until september .. :( because not many wedding ceremony in Ramadhan month ..but september is close and my freelance job is on again... ;)
Activities on Friday, August 5th, included a tour of the AAI Plant where the current model Mustangs are built. The highlight of the day was driving our Bosses on the AAI test track .
The light powder that had fallen on my laneway's concrete early yesterday morning was perfect material for preserving these tracks of raccoons.
You know what I mean, you find this interesting looking track. "you bloody beauty" you think, this must go somewhere.So off you go, lugging your camera gear, full off expectation as to the fabulous panoramic scenes that will just amaze you at the end of the track.Never mind the heat and humidity, never mind the flies that feed on your perspiration and blood supply,never mind the shortness of breath and rocky uneven surface making it difficult to walk without tripping.How much further you think, can't be far now..
And then..you reach the end..'you ripper ' you yell..And there before you a vision splendid..Nothing, not a bloody thing..not even an interesting looking tree..So after a moment or six to catch your breath you turn and retrace your steps..how far have I come..can't be far....
I'm a Rainbow tracking trekker, spirits are high when the colour surge begins to merge but as it reaches the pinnacle, the zenith point when full intensity beams delight the scene, does it start to dissipate and before too long there is nothing there, nothing but a memory and a surge of dopamine to spur me on.
Edited Trace Gas Explorer image of dust devil tracks on Mars.
Original caption: This remarkable image was taken in the Terra Sabaea region of Mars, west of Augakuh Vallis, by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. This mysterious pattern sits on the crest of a ridge, and is thought to be the result of dust devil activity – essentially the convergence of hundreds or maybe even thousands of smaller martian tornadoes.
This image is a colour-composite representation where features that are bluer compared to the average colour of Mars are shown in bright blue hues. In actual colour, the streaks would appear dark red. Dust devils churn up the surface material, exposing fresher material below.
The reason why the streaks are so concentrated on the ridges is not known at present, but a relationship to orographic lift as masses of carbon dioxide air flow uphill and converge with other air masses is one possibility.
The image was taken on 8 February 2019 and is centred at 26.36ºN/56.96ºE. North is up.
