[STICKY]My Pic Of The Day

[wobbly_boot]

Not really bike related however 2 nights ago I was taking some pics of Albury at night and got bored so I drove out to the Hume Dam took a few pics in near pitch darkness and then out to Bethanga bridge that crosses lake Hume from NSW to Vic and was more pitch darkness that I couldn't even see the bridge only 75 meters in front of me so I was about to give up taking a shot then low n behold, a car went over the bridge away from me and then there was another coming towards me, I was parked off into a siding just before the bridge, so the bridge became visible and so I took a hand held shot at 2.5 seconds, it's got at least 5 steps of IBIS (Nikon Z5ii with 40mm f2 lens) but i think blown up it would show some shake, looks ok on Facebook size A couple of shots also at night on the Hume Dam wall. The last Photo is a bit blurry pretty much because it was near pitch darkness out there. This Camera has an incredible ability to see in the dark. Up to -10EV

That last pic is a bit blurry as it was hand held for around 2.5 seconds and it was almost pitch black, I don't even know how it became a pic at all and I don't even have a flash on the camera

Still enjoying some spectacular autumn days in Austria's far south-east.
They don't call it the "Castle-district " for nothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riegersburg_Castle

Impressive even from 15k's out....the Riegersburg Castle crowning its signature rock.




If you get an invite from some chums.....





Easy way up....the old knights woulda lopped a head off for that option!






Own vineyards on "top of the rock".









The peasants entrance











Stonewalls, gun-slots and church steeples....the symbols of total power







Old cart path....and one of the 4 consecutive guarded gates that had to be passed.









Some "evil intruders" sneaking their way up....




....and another climber storming its own castle.

Bethanga bridge

I like the shot of the red and grey coloured arches of Bethanga Bridge. Well done!

Crikey Glitch, wouldn't fancy having to deal with the climbing or descending after a bender ...... I hope they'd have a hospital near by

Not quite as adventurous as Nev and Jo, but Lynne and I enjoyed a ride to Noojee today out through the hills.



Nice lunch at the Little Red Duck Cafe. Just a few other bikes there, so fairly quick service.




Haven't seen one of these for a while since the Spyders have taken over.



Nice day, about 200ks, perfect weather. Cheers Ian

Ripper weather today @Squizzy
I've spent the last three days at The Basin Cricket Club "un-fucking" their network and scoreboards. What a disaster.
At least the weather has been good to be outside.
