One last look around.

[shmelly]

Thought I would throw in some landscape, wouldn't be home if I didn't show you vast areas of nothing in particular.

This first photo has a UFO in it. I have no idea what it is, I know it is not something on the lens and it is not a bird. Anyone got any ideas? I was going to get rid of it but curiosity won't let me.




of course all of these pictures look a lot more amazing in a larger version. This is a land of wide open spaces.







Finally, the road home.




Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed our little trip.

Beautiful! I'd love to come down there sometime. I've a friend living in Melbourne, he's asked me to come visit several times, but we just can't afford it at the moment. One day!

Your UFO could be a high-speed bee or other flying creepy-crawly.

These are gorgeous Michele! Looks so open and just so peaceful and wonderful. I am jealous, beats hearing the traffic and sirens of the city. More beautiful crystal blue sky! I don't know what your UFO might be other then sensor dust or particle maybe. I don't see it in the other shots so maybe it fell away or other things covered up that same area in the other shots, OR it is a UFO. One never really knows. Great shots regardless. Thanks for sharing pieces of home. Mine would not be near as interesting, I promise you that!

Those are some beautiful captures Michele. I think your UFO is a flying insect. I saw a show one time on UFO photographs and numerous things that looked just like yours turned out to be insects. But who really knows for sure!

Absolutely gorgeous area I love that last photo. As far as your UFO, google flying rods and look at what they offer. These have been documented to be insects on slow moving video. Now you have a still image taken at 1/125, if it's a bug he's really moving to make that big of a streak in that short of time. Oh, brainstorm, project to come their to investigate this. Expenses only, easy keeper, big sandwich at lunch, bowl of ice cream at night, just a rug with the dog for minimal sleep. Awaiting your travel instructions.

Those look great. I'd love to see it in person. (that's a compliment from me, it means the photos were good enough I want to touch and smell.)

I really like the road home - it more than the others invokes some feeling and sentimentality in me.

Thanks Jamfke, If you ever get the chance it's well worth a visit, much, much greener down near Melbourne.

Thanks Michelle, I must admit it is quite, I lived in the city until I was 27, and then we had to move west for my husbands employment, thought we would be gone for only three years. Both of us have never wanted to return.

Thanks cmpool, I think I have to agree, but it must have been a very high speed bug.

hmm.. Expenses, good luck....accomadation, there is always a spare bed in the room with the grandkids at the moment.... the sandwich I can do, the icecream I can do, the dog never shares her rug and it's in the minus degrees at night, apart from that your fine..Actually I think you have a very good idea here, you come and investigate my UFO and I will use a similar grant to investigate a monster in Scotland I photographed by mistake. I'm off to google now.

Thanks suprspi, it really is worth seeing.

Arrrgh! You captured an image of a rod! They're right up there with Big Foot, Nessie, and little green men.

Michelle, these captures are gorgeous. Your nothing in particular looks beautiful through your lens and of course your eye. The sky is a lovely colour of blue and I just love the vanishing point in the last on. I blew the first one up to 400% and I dont know what it is. Must be a close encounter of the first kind lol. The framing is excellent Michelle. A lovely presention of your lovely countryside.

Dave.
