Vantage

For CWP: “Clouds”.

This is Pussycat Hill, overlooking Dumbleyung Lake in WA. This was the best vantage point to watch Donald Campbell break the world water speed record on New Year’s Eve 1964, when he reached a speed of 276.3 miles per hour in his boat, Bluebird.

There’s a memorial there now. At the exact day and time each year (3.43 pm 31st December) a beam of sunlight shines through a hole in the rock of the memorial and onto a model of the boat. Meanwhile the clouds watch over it.
