Looking east over the racecourse towards the sea which is just behind the buildings of Surfers Paradise in the background. In the foreground you can see some of the logo the grass painting guys were part way through with.

MA these are awesome! I love the colours and how clear they all are. :highfive:

but, but, where are the horses? :cry-an:

[Mad Aussie]

The horses were i nthe stables across the road. We were still setting up for today's racing. After several weeks building in the workshop ... then 3 days installing, we go back Monday morning and rip it all out again for another year.

too bad you coudn't have gotten some pictures of the horses being worked prior to the race and all the hubbub that goes on.

I had work to do :) I did see lots of pretty filly's though ;) But no horses! :rolleyes:
Back is holding out ... gets sore but seems to slowly be getting strong again. Being back on my bike helps ... and I've been doing regular exercises on the Wii which is surprisingly good!!

Some really cool shots there, MA. My favourite is the diminishing perspective on shot #2 but I like the skyline too!

Thanks Iggy :)
