When travelling between Willow Tree and Gunnedah in NSW one travels across the Breeza Plain. The road is fantastic and when I had my merc it was the one place I could put my foot down - actually hit 200kmph
There is one little rise on the plain where the township(
) of Breeza sits and this photo is of the general store - weather beaten and probably not a very busy place.
Shot on the Nikon D1 with 28-105mm
iso 200
f/16 at 1/250 sec
To the guys and gals overseas a little bit of Australiana

Very quaint, I take it there is no paint store in Breeza?

Chris,
Very good for an image taken while you're travelling at 200kph. Obviously the VR was working well.

Panning is such a marvellous thing - now am I talking about photographic panning or the other type

This is great, Chris. Have you tried it in B&W or Sepia to add that really old sort of feel?? Would be interesting to see...

VR has been standard in the entire Benz range since 1896.
Great shot Chris and, as a fellow Benzer I appreciate a good road and a good photo opportunity.

I'm a sucker for pictures like that. Just love 'em. Maybe it's because my mum came from rural Arkansas (middle America).
Hard to decide which is better the B&W or the color, but I think I'd opt for the color because it shows how beautiful the skies are over there.
Color me very jealous.
Thanks for sharing it, Chris.

Thanks Chris!
Love the colour one, but I must say, the B&W looks brilliant! Lovely work!

Steve,
Is it true that if a couple from Arkansas move to CA and then get a divorce, they're still brother and sister?

I think the b&w shot has greater impact.
Nice pic Chris, well spotted stormy.

Chris, great shot, very evocative.
Stormy, good idea on the BW
Chris, I reckon Stormy's second suggestion of sepia might even be better, a fairly light sepia wash.
Whaddya reckon?

Good shot mate, glad you pulled over and got the shot i bet.
I think it looks more comfortable in colour.
PS Slow down and enjoy whats in between - say 140?
Regards
Sean
