On an aerial job last week in the wheat belt I flew over some interesting farmland due to the recent harvests. Would love to have had more time in the area but was on a job so will have to return in the near future especially after a harvest…

Thanks Stuart, Love the description someone forgot to put the thread…it does look like that….
Its white because its salt, the rest of the area was very red dirt so the white stood out and I am not sure what the tracks are but I liked the look of it. It is out the back of Kambalda/Kalgoorlie. They have a lot of lakes out there.

Hi Peta – these are sensational. #1 and #5 look like oil paintings. #6 looks like someone forgot to put thread in the sewing machine. (BTW where is it and how come its so whit – is it frost?)
Here is a selection of landscapes that are from a few aerial shoots that I have been on in the last few months. Some are from the Goldfields area and some are not far from Kwinana. I love the rich textures and colours that are either man made or by nature.

Gee theres some good ones in these Peta. Great stuff.

These are great, Peta. They look more like oil paintings than photographs.
Here is a selection of altered landscapes from the air. I have flown over many places in WA but had not explored the goldfields area at all. I found the scenery amazing with salt lakes expanding across so much of the area. Some beautiful homesteads are dotted through the Goldfields and are like little oasis…

Thanks Mark, I do love aerial photography the best.
The down side is hand pumping 400 liters of avgas in the cold…

You are the master…or is that the Mistress of the aerials Peta! Great altered selection there!
On a recent trip to the Kimberley the Gibb River road was closed so we had to make other arrangements and put Kununurra and Wyndham on the itinerary. The weather for a sunset shoot was not looking the best so it was scout the town to see what was around. Lots of amazing old buildings…

mervfrench - Yes you’ll have to come out when we are seeding , thats done with GPS as well. I’ll let you know when its happening, be some time in June.
Peta - I knew that you would know the answer…GPS…thats why the lines are so straight….I will have to come out next year and see them in action, I think it would be very interesting…
mervfrench - Could be any reason Peta, maybe someone just got bored so turned around to go the other way
. If there are 2 headers working together then when they have to unload a full bin they have to swap rows so one machine will do a loop Those tracks in number 4 are chaser bin tracks. The chaser bin and tractor go out into the paddock and unload the harvester on the move then go back to where the truck is so their tracks go everywhere but you can see they link up to a main track heading into the bottom RH corner, thats the track back to the trucks. The straight line tracks are auto steering with GPS. if they don’t have machines with auto steering then they generally go around and around the paddock in ever decreasing circles. Now , that should really confuse you. !!
Peta - Thanks Merv, ok guess your invited then……
You can answer a question om harvesting….why is it that they go up and down the fields in straight lines then do a couple of turns in the middle and then they go straight again…
mervfrench - Love these Peta, they are great. Next time you go out to get these I’m coming too.
