3 day roadtrip from Perth down through walpole, denmark, and albany & surrounds (and about million a stops along the way.) ... then back to perth via the stirling ranges.

The weather was pretty horrible, but you get that *smile*.

Hi Brad,

great part of the world in that corner of WA. Reminds me of a trip we had there in mid-90s. Loved the Stirling ranges.

The panorama shot of the ranges is really nice. I also like the one of Bluff knoll, but would have liked it more without the footpath.

The grain silo shot is also perfect, well caught.

Cheers,

radar

escapism : actually it never came out of its wraps! I found 50mm wasnt terribly useful due to the diverse compositions.
