Nice shot.



Canada?



 :001_tongue:

I see this is going to be harder than I thought.



Leave my HILLS alone.

[Blurt]

Will do.



But where is this, exactly?



It's gorgeous.

But where is this, exactly?



It's gorgeous.

It is what we call the Flinders Ranges, a desert mountain range about 650 km north of Adelaide. The range in the distance is called Wilpena Pound (where Wolf Creek was partly filmed...a little horror trivia there).



Although the Pound itself looks like a meteor crater from the sky, it isn't. It's a natural formation. Many tourists died there before rangers were stationed nearby due to de-hydration, disorientation and exhaustion. These days you need to check out when going hiking, and check back in on your return, otherwise a search alert is triggered. The main problem is dehydration...without enough water you can rapidly succumb.

This shows how arid it is there, as well as Australia's commitment to the environment by not cutting down a tree that is in the path of the track.

Interesting.



I'd be more afraid of the weirdos in the hills than of getting my ass dehydrated, though.



(Yes, I've seen Wolf Creek.)

[Bricktop]

Good old Mick...always helping the pommy tourists.



But the countryside is much as was portrayed at the beginning of the film...vast open space, where the gullible and innocent fall easy prey to the psychopathic predators. Or, the scalpers at the service stations.



Sadly, weirdos do tend to find their way there in one form or another. From all countries. It has an allure to those who's mind is flaky.

I'm too White for Aussieland...



It's too hot there for me.

[Blurt]

I thought you were too White for Vancouver, Mel.

[Angry White Male]

I am...  The chinks are taking over here.



The GOOD news is, is that my unit is going up in value faster than I could have ever imagined...

It couldn't have happened to a more deserving owner.

Reminds me of the desert South West of the USA only better.

I know!  My building actually made the news, due to the huge increase on a unit here!

Mel, nobody gives a flying fuck if your handicapped dorm room went from 8 bucks a night to 12.



Hopefully you're moving enough dirt or digging enough ditches to keep up.

[Bricktop]

Oi!!!



That is a PHOTOGRAPHY thread!!!



I know you have some nice pics, Renee.



Ante up.

[Blurt]

My brother and I went on a little road trip last fall through the Kootenays.



On one of our stops in small-town country, this sculpture caught my eye.
