There certainly are a lot of cars at your neighbor's house.

That's Pat's place, I've always pictured Jarl and Aardy as being very much in the Pat mould. Hard working, petrolhead, down to earth, fix anything, great neighbour, salt of the earth type.

That is actually seven images, taken with the camera in "portrait" orientation, stitched together to give that "super-wide-angle" view, hence the distortion.



Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

Love the black and white especially! I've had no time to shoot lately - hopefully as the holidays roll in I will find some time to get out.

Me neither, with being in the new job less than 6 months I could not get out hunting this year. That and the fact my cousin who owns the hunting camp (160 acres in Maine) developed bladder cancer and is undergoing chemo during this hunting season.

Shouldn't that be "above" Canberra? Or "over" Canberra?

Given the way Sandy struck us here on the NE coast of the USA, I can assure you that, "through" is an apt description for many storms. Such as "Sandy blew through my house and now all the contents are gone". Or "Sandy blew through town and now all the houses are in a pile on the far edge of town". Or "Sandy blew through the bay and brought the water with her and my house floated away".
