    Yeh, the world looks just 'fine' afterall at that time eh ? Everything below the horizon just 'disappears' into black. Certainly makes my backyard look a whole lot better.

    There's a hill bhind our place where there are lots of those big red balls, one goes down there every night.
    Not today though, it's a touch damp

    Nice sunset pohotographs.

    Ian007 If you already have your Nikon for high quality shots (wet system) I can really recommend the Fuji S5000 (around £189 on the web) because if you are only going to display pictures on the pc screen you cannot display a picture greater quality than screen resolution.

    The Fuji S5000 has 10 optical zoom and 22 times digital zoom (and the quality is OK) Anyway have a look at its spec.

    But you can burn a CD or DVD and do a slide show, comes up well.
    RAW format is better too, I am biased as I have the next one up the S7000 with hot shoe for external flash, currently about $900.00.
    Prints come up well on my Epson R210 photo printer, if you use photo paper.
    Toss the card though, 16mb is just tooooooooooooooooooooooooo small, I run a 512mb XD card and 2gb micro drive.
    18mb for a RAW image, not many piccies on a card.

    Nope, In the Tea Tree Gully council area
    In the second pic you can see the Port River area a bit clearer than the other photos. Torrens Island power station a bit to the left of the sun and the container cranes at outer harbour under the sun.

    Cheers Ian

    I now know what I missed back in February not being able to take up that kind offer you made. I can imagine you must reside on one of those slopes (mountains) that surround Adelaide.
    It was like a rollercoaster ride coming down into Adelaide.

    The day we left Adelaide back towards Melbourne they had 5" of rain and the Great Ocean Rd. was closed at many spots owing to landslides.
    However Echinada came to our rescue, made some running repairs to windscreen wipers which had been bent by the wind.

    Nice piccies, Ian. I could take a similar pic, but I'd have to get on the roof.. But the almond trees are looking nice at the moment.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    I would take a piccy from my back doorstep too, but once you've seen one GI fence, overgrown with a creeper that needed cutting back about two decades ago, you've seen them all.

    As for these landed gentry with really nice views over Adelaide ... th ... nah, I can't be rude. Just assume I'm jealous but at least I can back my boat up my driveway
