Craziness on the road

This morning's drive to work at 4am saw me come across a vehicle swerving all over the road, going well below the speed limit. One has to be very careful in these situations. How to get past without being hit? The car moved to the extreme left and I... See More »

Why are some members avatars totally blurred out?

Over the last month I have been starting to notice this. Anyone know why the blur. Those who I am blocked from seeing displey the SW logo, so not that.

Could have ended in loss

This morning, 8am at the cricket, I set my camera up on the tripod in the hopes a Galah and it's chick would roost in one of the trees at feeding time. I am sitting in my car, watching the cricket, waiting for the Galahs to appear, I would be ready.... See More »
