Excellent sunset picture! It's a quite different sunset to me. The sky is looking like a ocean of fire. You got lucky with the timing, lighting and colours.

Incredible reflection!!  We don’t see those sort of critters over here!  Seriously though, how tall are those kangaroos?

G'day Scott

When standing erect on its hind legs, a female kangaroo is about 4-1/2ft to 5ft tall, whereas a male can go to well over 6ft tall

Normally roos are very timid, and will hop away out of sight as soon as the 'lookout' for the group alerts the sleeping others of an intruder

When a male is in combat with another male - or a human - it balances on its very strong tail and uses its two hind legs and the long claws to rip the stomach from its adversary. Therefore comes the warnings to tourists etc. to keep well away from wild / semi-tame animals .... ie: wildlife park ones used to people are okay unless it is mating season

Here's a pic of two males fighting - notice how the front roo is off the ground and trying to rip the guts from the smaller male trying to steal his harem

The locomotive set is very cool… specially the second
— a very good set indeed. :P :P :P

Got any more, Phil?

Light is free… capturing it is not!
