The photo that pretty well started my love for photography. This is Lake Louise in Canada. This photo was taken around 10pm and even though it looks like I have the place to myself, there were hundreds of people behind me. I was amazed at what the camera was able to capture and wanted to start taking more photos.
This is an image 10 months in the making. The last time I visited the Wirrabra Silo Art in South Australia’s mid north, the Milky Way core was not in the right place. I knew it would be in August though but the weather has not been kind here recently. The recent cloudy conditions had me fearing that I will have to wait another year. Yesterday though the skies were clear and after work I took off for the 250km trip. Upon arrival, I was greeted by some of the clearest skies I have seen with the Milky Way clearly visible to the naked eye. I took the first shot and nearly peed my pants at what came up on the screen. I took barely 10 shots that night, packed up and drove home satisfied that I had captured the image in my vision.

And then the sun came out. Australia’s latest Silo Art is in Karoonda in the South Australia’s mallee land, a 2 hour drive from Adelaide. Renown street artist @heesco was commissioned to paint this stunning image. Aug 11 2019

Stunning photos!
WOW! Beautiful beyond words. Here in Switzerland, if you are in the mountains, the sky is sometimes clear enough to make out the Milky Way but I^ve never seen it anything like as bright as in this photo. And that bird is brilliant. Thank you for posting these.
He was in a place where there was little city light interference. The sky is magical, isn’t it
I keep saying that one day I’m going to go to a really dark place – Northumberland, maybe – just to look at the stars. But it will probably be cloudy!
I mean one night …
Tremendous photos!!
He has honed his skills. Photography is his hobby
The silo art is wonderful.
Yes. There’s lots more. All unique and exquisite
