When in Australia we stayed on this remote sheep station, I'd noticed this phone box the night before but the toilet block lights were right behind it which kinda ruined the shot. These went out after midnight so the next night I stayed up until all was quiet and the surrounding lights had gone.

What may look a bit like noise in the sky is really dark blotchy clouds, it looks a lot better as a large print.

20D, 10-22mm lens on tripod.

This image will probably appeal more to Aussies than anyone else. It's just so typical. So remote...
Nice image, makes me homesick, haha.

Great Shot Paul. I'm glad you didn't crop it. I like Adam's comment. Rush out and buy T3 shares. Bad luck they are closed.

A neat image - looks like a couple of aliens. Is this phone service by satellite, or radio towers?

Good question but I'm afraid I have no idea, sorry.

Thanks everybody for your comments.
