Every Child Gets a Prize

So, this evening’s venture didn’t go entirely as planned. In fact, someone enamoured of internet cliches might say we served up a big helping of fail.

After a grey and rainy day, nightfall was something of an anticlimax. A dim day of diffuse light made way for a dim night of diffuse light, though the colour of weak sunlight was replaced by the glare of reflected city lights across the overcast sky.

Hooray for lava tubes, I say! One hundred and ninety thousand years ago, there was molten rock flowing through here, carefully forging an outback tourist attraction.

I remember Alien Resurrection playing here in 1998, two years before it closed down entirely, its operator choosing to focus on air-conditioned cinemas instead. Time and vandals have not been kind.

Relatively long exposures… relative to the amount of light available, that is :)

So, it turns out that hayfever and mucous congestion does not go well with a respirator mask. No, not well at all. Thankfully, I opted not to take a photo of the results, though I did consider it. This evening’s story - an outing with the infamous Snoops.

Shipwreck on a public beache - I shouldn’t have been so surprised that it took until almost complete darkness before the families with little kids stopped playing on it. Apparently this is now the last such beach wreck in Australia - the others have been removed as hazards over time, leaving this the sole remaining example.

Sixteen years, this place has been derelict. No trace of glass left, no doorways, signs that people have tried hard to burn it down at various points, too. Funnily enough, I’d taken photos very near here before, but only recently had I noticed this building still stood.

So, I took another road trip into rural territories. One thing I like about areas that centre around primary production is that instead of a mass of residences with infrastructure tucked into the cracks, industry is at the fore. The houses almost seem like an afterthought, tacked on to support people’s real purposes, rather than the other way around.
