My recent week away with my father and two brothers was something we'd never done before. With various medical needs and health issues to be aware of, it required each of us to step forward with whatever skills or resources we could bring to the table. It was no problem at all.

Here we are at a stop on our way home, Tamworth ... Australia's 'Nashville', and significant because my father was a top country music steel guitar player for most of his life.

We were 'In Tune' ...

Cool picture. Don't think anyone short of Paul Bunyan is going to play that guitar.

Dunno who he is ... but guessing 'short' works as a pun ;)

Figured you might not, he's from a classic american tall tale. He's a giant lumberjack, and has a giant blue ox.

If not Paul Bunyan then maybe the Jolly Green Giant could play it.

I like the sun in the background of that shot highlighting the guitar. Nice shot, MA. The guitar needs strings though! :)

Thanks guys.

The sun was a huge challenge of course. As this was just a fuel and food stop on our way home I had to work with the moment ... the sun right in the wrong spot.

Cheers Matt ... I did use a bit of flash as fill actually but didn't have the gear to remotely fire it from behind the sign.
