Lake Ballard

Mark Griffin and I travelled to Lake Ballard for a couple of days shooting.  The weather was not looking particularly  good along the way but by the time we arrived the rain was gone and only the one storm cell hung around which produced some amazing clouds for sunset. Mark used his new Leica M9…

Peta - Thanks Merv, the landscape is pretty amazing but I must admit I got lost in the statues..they seemed to take on there own personatley in the different light..

mervfrench - I meant to also mention we saw a couple of Gormleys works in England. There is one with a similar style on top of a building in Oxford and apparently he was paid
200, 000 pounds to put it there.

I believe they are going to take these statues at Lake Ballard away and renew them so they can get more life out of the project.

mervfrench - Hey Peta you’ve got to be happy with those , there’s a couple of crackers there.

3,4 and 5 as good as they are would look sensational without the statues IMHO.

Great shots all round and well worth the trip.

Cheers.

Peta - Thanks Graham comments appreciated. It is an amazing place and the sculptor Antony Gormley did an incredible job of the statues.

JAMES PRICE POINT AND COASTAL BROOME

Thought I would post some photos from a trip to James Price Point and also some aerial photos that were taken along the coast of Broome.  It is indeed a beautiful piece of landscape and I hope that it stays pristine for future generations to enjoy.  Even though I only had an evening there it…

Peta - Thanks Sandy, I have to admit its one of my favorites, infact I have printed it on canvas with the another shot taken in the same sequence, and they look nice as a pair.
