First Bow of the night

This was after the drive up we left Perth 8 pm it was then set up swag(one man tent) the drive over to the park. This was shot around 1 am in the morning. As there where still cars moving about there is some unusual lighting in the shot . Brake lights they have a great intensity I thought i had reshot them and removed it all but there is still evidence of it.

This is 360 degree view of the area we went to as there where others out and about. In all 5 others in the area and cars moving in the shot.
On the drive up we drove over( between the wheels) an echidna. the shot below was from the car head lights as we turned back to look at it as neither of us have ever seen one before. We waited for it to uncurl but it never did se we left it in peace to finish walking over the road.

Neither of us had ever seen one before but I did know what it was, sadly we did not watch it walk away. This was a good weekend away more planned.. as the weather cools.

Herb the is nothing like having a natural Landscape to play with in the deep night, This use to be a place that was open but never visited, to see the number of cars and photographers well past midnight you can see it has changed. I enjoyed the chance away from home well into the night to have this scene in front of me and who wouldnt. you are most welcome to get in the space and enjoy all there is to see and offer. One of these day I look forward to enjoy a "night out" with you and the stars.
