K7 with 10-17mm FE. Just glad that there wasn't two pits as a comment like Nice pits may have attracted a few more looks?

No rifle, just an odd shadow?

They are a few of the 51 that Antony Gormley produced and represent 51 of the residents of Menzies. link

This is the largest open mine in the world. Phot's do not do it justice except from an aircraft.

Just a candid.




the pit from the viewing area. Those small trucks in the distance carry many many tons of ore.







Have a look on Google Maps etc, it's rather large.

After a ripping weekend in Kalgoorlie, abandoned by Qantas and visiting some of the local attractions, I have had a look at some of the results. Weather out in the bush was overcast and it rained on and off.
















I was somewhat disappointed after getting up at 3am to drive 200Kms into bad weather and light. I was wanting a good sunrise. You can't win them all.

Apparently the global population is to reach 7 billion today.

A baby in India is expected to claim the title. Now how is that provable?

Are we being watched?

Tyr, this may be a little better for general info and it covers a few brands. link

David, no issues.

Qantas grounded. Another night then in Kalgoorlie and an early train back to Perth in the morning. Feel sorry for those stuck abroad with kids etc.

According to this link there appears to be 25 Nikon lenses that are WR. Not looked at Canon as I don't use them.

Since I've started using Sun Sniper straps, people can't easily see that I'm using Pentax and Nikon side by side, although they do ask why two systems after getting close enough to see the names on the bodies.

Decided to leave Perth on Friday morning to do a shoot over here at Kalgoorlie (Gold fields).

Managed to get up at 3AM this morning and drive up through Menzies to Lake Ballard, to photograph the Antony Gormley statues that are there.link

Called in at the Super Pit yesterday and will return this afternoon.link

As Friday was a holiday in WA due to the CHOGM event and to celebrate the Queens birthday (different dates all over Oz), I thought it an ideal chance to cover this area.

I don't insult forum members.

That's 2-0 to Frogfish at the moment.
