Spent 3 days in Broken Hill last week, and tried to get the wrecked buildings further towards being finished before we left. Also got a good start on the Tattersalls entry which then had a week to dry thoroughly before the next layer.
Got a great many good photos in Broken Hill, but have no desire to paint the landscape, though the colours were superb. Too many fiddly little scrubby bits.
Photographed these truly remarkable figures beside a display of very ordinary sculpture on a hilltop.

Scrap Pile at CMA Southern Rocycling
Had a very fruitful trip to the north of Adelaide, through the light industrial area. Found some very good wrecked trucks but the very best images of all appeared over the top of a beautifully finished ten foot wall surrounding what looked like about 5 acres of a scrap piles - it was CMA Southern Rocycling (spelt correctly) and, no, they wouldn’t let me into the scrap yard itself, I could peep through the gate, so I did and took this shot, much too far away to use.
So, I continue with the wrecked buildings, currently repainting the sky for only the second time. The Tattersalls entry is all planned and ready to go, possibly similar in feel to the Wrecked Truck and 2 Stobie Poles.
