G'day

It seems that Eromanga in western / outback Queensland holds the title for Australia's largest dinosaur "Australotitan cooperensis" known locally by the friendly nick-name of 'Cooper'. Eromanga, 1000km inland from the state capital Brisbane, is in the Cooper Basin and the well known channel country.  From fossilised bones the experts estimate Cooper to have been 35metres long x 15m tall, making it the second largest dinosaur fossil ever discovered

This sculpture from aluminium tube is an artists' representation of Cooper plus two youngsters

Thanks fellas

I have for some time now really enjoyed the after-sundown 'orange-glow' that we see here (and presumably you do too) and via that very rich light I do my landscapes.  While pointing towards the light is great, using the light and pointing away also gives me some colours that bring the subject out in a different way than 'normal'
