That's the best picture of nothingness I ever saw Michelle. I love the colours and is that a dust devil in the shot? I love it Michelle. Nowhere to run nowhere to hide.? lol

Thanks Dave, definitely nowhere to hide. The dust in the background is called a willy-willies, caused by heat thermals, they run across the landscape everywhere, especially near the roads because of the extra heat I guess.

Fabulous shot of nothingness Michele. It's amazing how fasinating nothing can be, well until you've spent hours and hours seeing nothing but nothing driving along getting more tired by the minute. Anyway I like your shot of nothing it is actually something.

Thanks Angela, well you are very right there, but the nothingness is very different so I found it very amazing. Tony and I share the driving, 200klms then swap, found this works very well.

Awesome Michele - never seen anything like that before - the road just seems to be so clear but the colour, yes I like yet. Pity about the straightness of the horizon - something that we must be aware of. Cheers, Bernz

Yes, the best photo of nothingness I ever saw too. Great colours as well, and love your composition Michele. Also love your new avatar, it's beautiful. Hope the computer issues are resolved quickly - I don't know how we survived pre-internet etc!
