I love the expression on that bird's face. Looks like a character out of a cartoon or comic book. What a fantastic catch Bill.
Cheers, Richard.

Like you, Richard, I'm much more into the styling of classic sports cars. Perhaps that's a reflection of my age. I get a greater sense of character from the earlier iteration of those cars...regardless of who the manufacturer was. I look forward to your visits.
I agree Tom, I grew up in the 1950's - 1960's and I am sure that nostalgia has a lot to do with my preferences.

The lines of that Ferrari and some other sports cars of the same era appeal to more than many of the later designs - not that I would refuse any if they were offered to me. Great capture Tom of a very desirable rare classic car in a rare - for a Ferrari - colour.

I was intrigued by the patterns created by the sun reflecting on to the tiles from a chrome door stop secured to the floor and decided to photograph it just for fun. I don't expect it to win any prizes but I bet it is unique.

A very rare beauty for sure black mamba. Your photos do it justice. Cheers, Richard.

Thanks Richard, hopefully my pics brought back some fond memories...we were there last 55 years ago on our honeymoon. I took my FC Holden over on the old Princess Of Tasmania... 
They certainly do Ron. I just noticed a spelling error in my previous post - it should be Bass Strait not Bass "Straight". Quick, hide my post before the spelling police find it.

I enjoyed both of your sets of photos of Hobart Ron. I have had a soft spot for Tasmania ever since I worked as a diesel fitter in a tin and copper mine at Luina in the rugged north west of the island. That was in 1968 and my wife and I have visited several times since then. We have always enjoyed the overnight crossing of Bass Straight which for us is part of the adventure of visiting Tasmania but I had not thought of doing the cruise like you did. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Cheers, Richard.
