hello rover

from the top of the hill you can see a lot
traffic lights directing pulses of traffic
smoke from smelting
lights from towers, shops, cars and homes
waves superimposed in a medium
images recorded by bits

and for a panoramic view of the town
you can watch the youtube below

the hitting range at the isa golf course
on a warm afternoon
more photos to come when i walk the course
on a cooler day

a collection of books on a board
supported by steel
assorted photos
snapshots of time and place
afixed by friction
from magnetic force
a study of maps
social and dynamic
randomly placed unpacking
a nearest neighbour method
connected nostalgia
highland of brave
and sound of cow

people are different
similar, yet not the same
identical, but unique
gravity's bond to each holds strong
a planet of paths
lived and living

for a great view of the world, try visiting panoramas.dk
you can view zoomable 360 degree panoramic shots from some spectacular places on earth that one day you may want to visit. it's well worth the wait for download.

the view of a sunset from my new front door.
it's a nice quiet street. reminds me of sisley st for those of you who knew that place

having finally arrived in mt isa on the 17'th of jan, and after living here for nearly 2 weeks, i can say it is a wonderful place. this time of year is the wet season and there is plenty of green grass and rain about. apparently in about 2 months it will all be dead grass but it is great at the moment.
had a great drive out here, 1830km or there abouts from the coast. was lucky to get past a river that flooded at kynuna after i passed through, and was greeted by tropical monsoon rain and grey skies as i drove into town. seeing the two smelting smoke stacks from the mine towering over the city as i drove in it looked remarkably like mordor in a scene from the lord of the rings.
there is a great lake here, moondarra, that has plenty of fish and water filling it. and driving back from the lake one evening there was a fantastic view of the city, lit up like a christmas tree in the desert. i'll get some photos now that i have my camera back so you can see.
more later.
