T-28 Trojan

Its a bit ugly, but I still like it, check out the size of the rivets on the wing, even on the low res version you can see them – over there on the wing with all the wrinkly skins 🙂

Tight on the Narrowneck

This is one location where you cannot move around alot given that you have only several square metres of rock to stand on and its pretty well straight down cliffs either side, hence getting some variation in the views can really only be done with going wider, or getting tighter, which this shot is.

Lone Tree

Sometimes sunrise is not overly spectacular and there are no colourful clouds, however on the flipside you often end up with really nice hues in the direction away from the rising sun.

Evans

So.. if I told I walked for days and nights to get to this spot just to great the right time of day blah blah blah.. would it the image any better. I'm gonna say no, the experience of getting the image, definitely worth it…

I stopped in here on the way home only because the traffic was equivalent to what the M5 is like …. at.. lets say.. anytime of time day when there is daylight.. its a $4.20 parking lot. Hence 10 minutes off the highway is Evans Lookout which I have not been to in about 10 years, I think the last time I went here Sarah Joy and I walked the Grand canyon walk. I spent the last 30 minutes of daylight enjoying the view without having walk more than 100 metres 🙂 I call that smart photography 😉

back to the M5 – i reckon the tolling should be based on travel time, ie if the collective masses are not travelling over say 70kph than the amount tolled decreases proportionally to the average travel speed – given all the cool data they capture for traffic (including google) it would not be hard, think of it like a KPI for the M5 operator.. 🙂
