refinery at night

think i will start doing something on surveillance cameras soon, it’s not as if there is any lack of them about these days.

i’d love to know how this tank got that huge dent in it. perhaps the lamp post fell on it once?

when the factory workers have gone home

the carpark seems so lonely with just a few vehicles left.

i will have to come back here when i have a tripod with me, it sort of reminds me of this deserted playground and the warehouse after the workers all went home.

the most out-dated shop in the world?

i think, and i do say “think” that “croissant Show” was a franchise back in the 80′s. I remember seeing heaps of them around when i was a kid, but have totally forgotten about it until i saw this fine example when, once again, i was stuck in Sydney traffic.

I wonder if the guy in the shop is actually a customer, or one of the owners friends?

In Australia, the format of telephone numbers was changed at least ten years ago. any Sydney number has a 9 as a prefix since then. these guys have had over 10 YEARS to sort that out on their signage!

i certainly will not be in a rush to buy any croissants from this show, that’s for sure.

NDT left a comment on this post today and rates their croissants highly.

I will get down there soon and check it out – i am happpy to be wrong…. will update again when that happens.

amazing new photographic evidence of UFOs in Australia

Well, it’s actually just a shot of this at night.

Just so that I don’t ruffle too many feathers with a misleading title, today i read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about a guy in the Northern Territory who has been filming strange goings on in the sky. He plans to make the Top End into a tourist attraction that beats the pants off Roswell in the US.  Good luck to him, i say..

You can check his videos out at www.UFOterritory.com.au

this is another photo from the amazing series.

after the children have gone to sleep…

I actually went back to re-shoot a previous post, as suggested by some of the readers here, but got distracted by this scene instead.

The park was full of 16 yr olds getting pissed for someones birthday, it was all good though. Kind of like a time machine.

I come down here often, but it’s the first time i’ve been down here at night in years.  With the eye, it’s not at all creepy, but through the lens, it certainly can be – especially when shooting tungsten using daylight temperatures.

So i guess i will just have to come back and get the UFO’s another night…

lonely dusk at sydney airport

I love the airport – especially when i am going somewhere (which I’m not).

I also love a bit of lens flare sometimes.

another from the desolate series of photographs.
