    5. Mercury, outside a country pub in Narrandera. I cannot call this an old car since it is younger than I am.

    Great series. I particularly liked #2 Countryside. I assume you kept the section of roadwat in the shot as it was a road trip?

    Thanks, Joe. I liked the converging lines of the road, fence and trees to give it form. Also, in full resolution you can see that the road is moving past. The first two shots were taken from the passenger seat as the car was travelling at highway speed.

    Perfect angle on #1 and a nice interesting sky as a background.

    And the sky in #4 nicely adds to a look of desolation.

    Why the trip to Melbourne? Just curious...

    In #1 and 2, the clouds are very good. I like them. Every now and then I receive some cloud shots from Seymour and I love them too. In #3 I will be guessing you are on a strip via NSW. #4 reminds me of Trevor's shot thought this is more cleaner and more compact. And #5 I have not seen one like this for quite sometime...

    Thanks John, Geoff and Izzie.

    Izzie, I go every Easter to a music workshop which is held variously in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. This time, we drove down to Melbourne via the inland route. The first picture was south of Toowoomba, the second and third a bit south of Moree and the fourth north of Wyalong (not very far from Wagga).
