Very Sad end

This is the very last photo I can take of this area I have taken a few over the years but it all comes to an end. This whole area is now ready for homes to be built so it lost its pristine Area. Thankfully the moonlight hide all this in the dark past the trees. There is no lighting of this area but the moon a few cars and the homes near by.

As Is my custom I take Carlos a fellow traveler from the Portuguese community out when we are together my tripod, my L Bracket and me telling him how to set the camera up.Then it was up to me to take the photo on his Canon 70D and then put it all together on PTGui.

Thanks DJ it was interesting to see the locals view of all this upheaval as well Its quite sad as this is a place we stop at for a good few hours which meant I had time now I have to look for another spot but that is also dependent on the amount of light pollution that the home and street lights put up.

Lovely images, Steve. Yes, the price of "development"! I hope you are able to find another suitable site.

I know we will be going back there next year so I have to find some thing or it a total waste of time. The new streetlight and houses will add to the light foot print of the area though that is the biggest worry. We will see.

No doubt having destroyed all the trees and bush, driving all our native animals and birds away, the developers will then name the new estate after those very same destroyed trees and disappeared animals. I have seen it happen here in Mandurah and its surrounds. I believe there should be a special part of hell for all "developers" where Satan's little imps will happily stoke the fires under their bottoms and gleefully prick them with tiny cocktail sticks.

On that note ... a happy Easter to you and yours, Steve. Stay safe in your part of our fine state.

Its so sad i read your comment and I know what you are saying as I not only see it around me but Drive hours away into the deep south to have it totally confront me.I have only to agree with you but I believe we a both old enough to see it others would not.

Happy Easter to you in the state of Freedom the world envies even if we are still waiting for our jab...................
