The iPhones are pretty good with low light.
All taken half hour ago. Normal, 2.5 zoom, 0.5 wide
Nice. Lovely sky, good looking volcanic peak.
The best camera is the one you have with you. Phones are fantastic for that job.
Great time of day @seeds, fading light and birdsong
I liked how you could see the showers in the distance in the light band.
Ooh golden showers,......
I like that too Seedsy. (You are a rapscallion, Blackers)

Soz, have been out celebrating a millstone adjacent birthday. Haven't been called a rapscallion for many a decade. Cheers Wax
haha, 'millstone'..
merry returns, @blackers ; )
Hahaha... i very much enjoyed just typin out the letters on that one, Blackers. A fleeting moment of joy in a life blessed with those. Funny how the bad stuff lingers more easily. Or maybe that is just me? Anyways... i will echo Base on the Merry Returns.
an empathetic person who has social intelligence winces about their life several times an hour, @wax.
You’re a bloody ratbag Blackers.
(same meaning colloquially @Waxxy)
and so do i, Base ;)
I really did like the showers in the band of golden light. I gotta wait a few months for any rain, here. And we got a fire season to wade through between now and then.
Yes I have been called that many a time seeds. And thanks for the kind words. Btw Base, millstone adjacent. Big one next year. 3 generations at the table, from 24 to 92 years, for a convivial evening.
Brilliant shot ...
Award Winner.
"Sthn Ocean Weather Girl" ...
Doesn't look like Jane Bun
ch7 weather.
Cropping land gives wide vistas.
A good feeling of assured calmness hit me seeing this. Then…….
bit of pub reading for you, @seeds - the savannah theory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savannah_hypothesis
Savannah, the new definition, sounds like the bush up northern oz.
Becoming bipedal surely wouldn’t necessarily mean old traits devolved, just a broader adaptability.
yeh, good points.. I remember reading some savannah theories suggesting 'when we can clearly see a distance, and our subconscious can see there is no impending threat to us, we function better' type thing; calm = quality thinking vs. adrenaline = manic thinking.
Hunting on the open land would have presented its challenges. You see dinner it sees you.
Were Australia’s first people the only ones to burn the scrub?
Pretty smart to realise the prey potential.
Road tripping pics from today.
Nice seeds, that part of the coast has a couple of cracker waves.
Great shots from the road @seeds, must be clocking up the kms
Great pics!!
Beautiful shots seeds
Ah the blue lake, a beautiful spot to wash the dirt off a rock lobster. Great work Seedsy, travel safe.
Psychedelic sunrise this morning.
Some amazing pics @seeds
- blue lake and coastal shots were beaut
… & vivid early morning pot of gold twisters

Some great scenery later.

..if it helps bring the image alive, @teary, to imagine the dude behind the lens, picture a late-career ben mendelsohn.. thick head of hair, a slight lisp when story-telling pissed, and a twinkle in the eye..
Sufferin' succotash @Teary. It was way better in person. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Here is the full scene shot with the pano function on iPhone
Sweet.
Fantastic photos @seeds, love to see your travels drawn on a map when it’s done, man the kms you must be clocking up!!
What a ripping adventure you are having
What music is on regular rotation, apart from local radio?
Hi Guy, it’s been fun.
3773km so far all to see a hole full of water in the middle of the desert. (and to deliver a board to the limestone coast)
Music equals nada. Stereo is stuffed. Occasionally manually scroll the entire radio band. If I find something I soon leave the signal behind. Now out here there isn’t anything.
Wow, it’s country Ive been through once but know little about @seeds, very envious! It’s possible that you might run into a SA based artist I follow on YouTube Richard Musgrave-Evans, he is always on the road painting on the spot.
"Now out here there isn’t anything." Love it

Great last paragraph Seeds.
"Out here thee isn't anything..."
You have just come up with the name of your album, Seeds.
Different country, different times, same feeling.
Nice winter weekend down this way. Not as immediately photogenic as the Flinders Ranges trek but nice none the less. Fun sesh yesterday arvo followed by a stunning sunset.
^^ very nice shots of the hoax coast there @blackers
Looks pretty good to me @blackers
Cheers lads.

In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.
