All that bush flying started giving me a chill in my bones and the wobbly pop just wasn't doin' the trick.
Headed to Queensland, took off from Cairns Itnl' and headed due north.
A few miles off shore I came across this reef...sorta great...also a kinda natural shoreline barrier.
Someone otta come up with a name for this place.
Feelin' warm in my bones now... Cool

Thank you Doug for the kind compliment.

That's why my paddles consist of a couple of 460 cal. elephant guns.

Have to agree with Doug, that last shot is superb Greg.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Great shots Greg.....I usually don't think that lens flare looks good......you pulled it off though, the last one is awesome Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thank you Chuck.
Your right. The lens flare can be a bit much at times. Cool

I love the last two. Perhaps the second to last more. It looks more realistic. The colors in the last one are beautiful of course, but somehow they don't look as real as in the second to last

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
