Default adventure

ok so im sitting at home bored -less. and i get feeling like i wanna take a photo. so i sit there and sit there, walk around the house, sit there.. then all of a sudden i think.. ill go for a ride down the paddocks on my bike and take my camera and bag. so off i go. i took 153 photos. and these are the best 3.


This was just sitting in a paddock somewhere (someone else's place, everyone lets me ride on there place). to get this shot i had to fight with the cows, which were going ape, for some reason they were all running crazy, and at one stage i had to leg it and jump the fence cuz i thought they were going to take me out. lol




This Telstra cabling sign appears to be have at some point come victim to target practice.




and this happens to be my weapon of choice for today, this thing managed to get me across some rough tracks, up some steep dam walls, and back down again. never missed a beat.. untill i bottomed it out over a jump (not a good thing to do with an SLR on your back) and i think i may have blown out the fork seals on both side lol

What a way to break the boredom: almost get caught in a stampede, 153 shots, and risk it all numerous times on a dirt bike. Good for you.

I really like the target practice shot and enjoy the post work you did on your last one.

Hope your bike is easily fixed.
