Tropic of Capricorn marker

G'day all

The Tropic of Capricorn crosses Australia and roughly subdivides it horizontally, passing very close to Alice Springs in central Australia.  This monument? / obelisk? / thing ! is there and I played with it through the afternoon as the light changed

1)- mid afternoon ... I carefully positioned the camera to exclude the tour bus parked behind it and the bollards surrounding the device.

2)-  getting towards late afternoon - the sun is falling towards the horizon (sky severely darkened in PP)

3)- after sundown - now illuminated only by the post sunset glow in the sky

All good Dave - it was an opportunity for me to stay a while and gather up several images as the day progressed into evening.  I also like #3 for its 'visual softness'

Nice. I love the thirst shot. I think the lighting environment is perfect for the subject. Awesome.
