Looking forward to grey skies and the chill of winter - we seem to be having an endless summer down under.

Thanks for your comment, Robert. Swans in themselves are such graceful subjects, aren't they - even in the fog. 🙂

Street Wisdom

Girl on a Train, Melbourne - Olympus XZ-2, f/3.2, 1/60sec, ISO-320

From memory, about 200 metres to the closest one - and the one at a lower altitude, your guess is as good as mine maybe 500 metres. Edit: please note that shot was from another balloon, not from an aeroplane.

Glad that your insurance covered the loss.

"Tell me about it !!!" The most frightening and uncomfortable flight I've ever had in this pilot-built ultralight (or whatever it is?) with a prop at the rear. He actually flew out as far as the Mt Buffalo Chalet - The owner is a mate of mine; I think he decided not to fly over the mountains...

The Tasmanian reference was gleaned from your footer that flags a knowledge of the Arts and the Greens. Your knowledge of Wang' is well grounded!🎓

I had intended to 'walk' at the time, but on reflection I realised I was expecting too much of the forum - it is what it is. You have a remarkable knowledge of NE VIC's geography for an expat Taswegian-Victorian-Banana bender!

There should be a special place in hell for those who steal - especially Blads! But glad to hear that the Mamiya optics were stunning - some consolation.

In a Flash - probably a silly place to be - just as silly a place as the person by the shore: Taken 2003, Olympus C-4040z, , f/10, 1/400, ISO-100 (10fps consecutive shutter release)

It was! 😁
