BIWOZ Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Bruce, Nice shots, and Happy Birthday. BTW nice bike name! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. She's named after the wife of one of WA's most well-known entrepreneurs, who financed our winning the America's Cup, then crashed and burned spectacularly. He was Alan Bond; she was Eileen Bond, known as "Big Red" (she was a ranga ... a redhead). My bike is red ... hence Big Red ... hence Eileen (apart from the play on words "I lean") Oh well, it seemed funny at the time. PS: My cameras are nothing out of the box ... Fuji mostly ... "semi" DSLR. I've just been lucky to be in the right place at the right time ... the Bali photo was taken with my wife's point-and-shoot Link to comment
BIWOZ Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Jan ... great photos. Especially love that second one. Thank you. Bruce Link to comment
BIWOZ Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Monday already?? The Pinnacles Desert, Nambung National Park, about 90 minutes north of Perth. For anyone who's interested, there's a short movie I made of riding through it: Part of the Perth skyline and Swan River, taken from Kings Park Cable Beach, Broome, in the North-West Lake Beauvert, Jasper, Alberta Link to comment
Rocer Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 ...and did you take a picture of the other one? I think you've just presented a reason for another topic. We go to a restaurant that uses straw dolls to designate their restrooms (isn't that what you call them?). They both looked the same to me but I finally realized that one had a small bow in it's straw hat. Glad I wasn't in a rush. Link to comment

The Japanese were the master pearl divers during the heyday of pearling. Hellfire Pass on the Burma – Thai Death Railway, Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Hellfire Pass itself is a 500 metres (550 yards) long and 26 metres (85 feet) deep section of rock that was dug out using picks, hammers and bare hands. Of the 1000 Australian and British POWs who took 12 weeks to clear the stretch of mountain, 700 died. Link to comment

BIWOZ Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Sunset on the Kuching River (Sugai Kuching), Sarawak. Unfortunately, it was almost too dark to get the clouds "boiling" over the mountain in the background.

BIWOZ Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 These were all taken one Sunday on a solo ride to the east and north of Perth. They are all taken in New Norcia, Australia's only monastic town, about 130 km/80 miles north of Perth. It has a fascinating history: New Norcia The Benedictine monastery gates: One of the schools (there were two -- a boys' and a girls') showing the (being restored) cloisters and handball courts at the rear: As a community, they were totally self-supporting (interestingly, the pump proudly still proclaims, on the little badge below the gallons counter, "Made in the USA"): The monastery chapel, showing the Spanish design influence: Link to comment

DirtyDR Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 That was 50 miles in on a road West of Loreto in Baja past a little town called San Javier and this is the third time I went down. All of these washes have 2 ways around them and if you choose the wrong way you have a chance of ending up like this. I was packed with all of my camping gear and every time I went down I had to pull the bags off and carry them over to the correct side and then ride the bike around and reload to continue on. This is the road: And the San Javier mission: Link to comment
TEWKS Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Nice pics! My joke (not so funny) was that you must of lost a bolt holding the sidecar rig to the GS. Pat Link to comment
