This hand was carved by one of the local Artists as a way marker to the Ardfern arts festival
2 years ago. It has become the norm when giving directions to Ardfern to say drive to the hand and follow the direction it points.

Now for some fun can anyone post on the subject of transport. the next poster gets to choose the next subject.

Now that John has pointed the way with his excellent theme, I'll start the ball rolling with the final word in transport safety and reliability ...

Next theme ...

... Jet aircraft ...

**Geoff F** · 5th February 2009, 09:46 PM

Does it have to be a jet?

Messed up a bit on this photo. Clipped the right wing and stopped the propellor so I had to do a bit of rebuilding. Not sure that I've got it exact yet.

How about 2 wheels next . . .

**Colin Southern** · 5th February 2009, 10:12 PM

They fly faster than some jets, so close enough!

PS: Do you need some help getting these to display inline?

**Roxy** · 6th February 2009, 06:11 AM

Two Wheels .. entrance to the reserve wherein is found "the Billabong" of Waltzing Matilda fame.
I first passed these wheels in 1960.. at that time, all spokes on both wheels were intact.
They haven't been removed by termites!

Next topic .. Family

**Colin Southern** · 6th February 2009, 10:56 AM

I may call her "No. 2 Brat" some of the time, but really, she rocks my world

Next topic ... Ducks!

**crisscross** · 6th February 2009, 10:59 AM

Hey Colin you have pipped me by seconds, anyway here's another family, tho where is Dad? (or in yours the whole of the rest of the family?

)

off to the waterfalls

**Colin Southern** · 6th February 2009, 11:57 AM

Hi Chris,

A touch of irony, as my photo was taken about 50 yards from many ducks!

Anyway, I know a good way to fix this problem ... (I'm sure I said ducks in my post!) ...

Agua Azul (Blue Waters) Chiapas, Mexico

A spectacular series of cascades races down 800 Mtrs of mountainside, to this fabulous spread, impossible to convey adequately without the sound here.

How about marine life?

Re #6 & #7

A pretty little chick followed by a family of ducks .. might be easy to be misled with some of

these clues??

thats a gorgeous bit of water rrox, and especially pleased to see it taken at a speed so it still looks like water not spilt milk.

**crisscross** · 6th February 2009, 03:46 PM

Does this count as marine life? Think it spends as much time in the water as out

**Roxy** · 6th February 2009, 07:29 PM

Hmmm ... I s'pose if a Spitfire (??) is "close enough" to a jet plane......
This great action shot fits the bill for marine life.
I notice you've stopped the water as well; I do feel too much is made of arranging a "dreamy"look for water.

Where to next?

Yes it is (see post #3), and appropriately enough, originally a photo reconnaissance version!

Part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, it's about 2/3s down this page.

I just love the sound of these things (well, technically the Merlin engine), they give me goose bumps everytime I hear them, even on TV if the sound HiQ enough to get the bass out.

Other pics are good too; esp. ducks, waterfall and surfer!

Cheers,

Next photo: "seeing the wood for the trees"

**The Blue Boy** · 6th February 2009, 10:19 PM

Firstly apologies for the shadow effect. It looks ok on flickr. Some trees before a wood.

Next subject should be;..... Animals!

**john w revie** · 6th February 2009, 10:49 PM

A vixen waiting for her cubs

Next Pond life

**pixel pete** · 6th February 2009, 11:12 PM

I better boogie. I was off by 2 seconds and the window/door of opportunity slammed in my face.

This is a monitor lizard taken in Malaysia when I visited in 2007

Next: "sports"

**Roxy** · 7th February 2009, 01:51 AM

World polocrosse championships held in Warwick, Queensland 2007

Next ... Rusty roof (haven't we all got dozens?).

**Roxy** · 7th February 2009, 01:57 AM

It's becoming difficult to keep up with the traffic in here! A good buzz, just the same.

RE #16 I like the shadow effect on the path Chris .. might even to make the subject with contrast adjustment, if that's the correct language

#17 Lovely shot of this alert animal .. the lighting's perfect, isn't it?

#18 Sorry, the lizard (?) looks a little damp

but it't really difficult to get a good exposure/composition in aquariums
