Kalgoorlie

Kalgoorlie is a gold mining town,



renowned as a place of easy virtue,



where even the gold mining trucks are gold plated.

I like the composition on #3 with the truck and the people...I am guessing the first shot is the train station? The second shot is very pretty. I still like #3.There is something about that huge truck...climbing it will be fun...

Hi Tony, all very nice shots I like the composition and the feeling of movement in #1 very much. The sense of scale in #3 is great .

Thanks Izzie and Binnur.

The first shot is indeed the station as we arrived. I like the stone buildings that are common in these places in the desert where there are no trees. I got a photo of my wife on the platform at the front of the truck. It's a long way up. One of my sons works on a coal mine and used to drive big machines like this and a similarly sized excavators. These were all taken hand held and therefore fairly slow shutter speeds.

Interesting series. You did a nice job with #2, very nice lighting on that one. Didn't know they made trucks that large!
