3 day roadtrip from Perth down through walpole, denmark, and albany & surrounds (and about million a stops along the way.) ... then back to perth via the stirling ranges.

The weather was pretty horrible, but you get that *smile*.

Lovely stuff Brad, out of interest how noisey were the windmills?

Hi Brad,

great part of the world in that corner of WA. Reminds me of a trip we had there in mid-90s. Loved the Stirling ranges.

The panorama shot of the ranges is really nice. I also like the one of Bluff knoll, but would have liked it more without the footpath.

The grain silo shot is also perfect, well caught.

Cheers,

radar

Nice shots mate! How did the 50mm go?

escapism : actually it never came out of its wraps! I found 50mm wasnt terribly useful due to the diverse compositions.

Yeah I know what you mean...handy to have but not essential.
