Very Nice! I love the contrast, the lighting and the blue sky. Pretty sharp too!

I took these on a trip out in the Simpson Desert to the horse races in Birdsville, QLD (Australia). 4,000 people ended up being flooded into Birdsville after the biggest rain in 25 years hit. So much fun.
This is set up in the middle of the desert as you come over a big sand dune. There's an old kerosene fridge, washing machine, lounge chair, toilet, stove, microwave just set up in the middle of nowhere. Funny stuff, we had to stop. That's me sitting on the toilet and my mate watching TV in the lounge chair.
