Up on the tops

This was taken at the official end of civilisation (which is a lone power pole just behind me) in an area that locals call "The Tops". If you stand quietly you can hear the banjoes and the eternally disquieting sound of impending redneckery.

Crap, not banjos ... again
Must fav. The voices tell me so

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

Wonderful clouds!

[Graeme Stevens]

@kevin365 The trouble with banjoes is that you never see them, you only ever hear them. Usually behind you. And thanks.

[Graeme Stevens]

@lsanderson55 I blame that on Mother Nature - I love it when she plays along.

[Caroline]

Haha disturbing comments everywhere about banjos... but very cool image, love the stormy skies...

[Graeme Stevens]

@kerosene Thanks very much - what could be more disturbing than banjoes?

[Richard Sayer]

Gloriously dark and foreboding... and I fancy that I can hear the strains of the banjo duel from Deliverance as I type... Fav.

[Graeme Stevens]

@vignouse Thank you very much - I thought I'd try my hand at an "inland" shot as the only beach that I went to today had a sign that read "access to beach by ford only"...and I drive a Subaru so that was out of the question

I had to look up the fair land where you live, and it does seem to be a beautiful spot on the west coast. Wikipedia did not tell me anything about banjo and rednecks, but I will take your word for it! This is beautiful scenery!

[Graeme Stevens]

@panthora The only trouble with the West Coast here is that it gets pummelled by the wind and rain! And thank you very much :)

[Rosie Kerr]

The clouds are so turbulent and foreboding. Skipping past the banjo... a bit too close to home. :)

[kali]

you got high

[Graeme Stevens]

@kali66 It's the only way to spend the day if you're anywhere near Whanganui
@rosiekerr They are but they may have been "slightly" edited ;)

It could look peaceful, but those clouds look threatening.

[Graeme Stevens]

@sioux It could...I may have edited the clouds slightly...

[Krista Marson]

That sky is gonna fall any minute there...

[Bill Fenske]

Yes, I think I can hear the redneckery

[Nitrogene]

This is fantastic!

[Janiskay]

Wonderfully dark and moody!

[Graeme Stevens]

@janiskay Thank you kindly, just what I was aiming for...
@nitrogene Thank you very much :)
@bill_fe The buggers are everywhere!
@blueberry1222 It's getting closer and closer

[Chris P]

woah, some clouds

[Graeme Stevens]

@mindeater Yep, Mother Nature played the game for a change

[Elytra]

Beautiful

[Graeme Stevens]

@elytra Thank you very much :)

[Joan Robillard]

When my husband and I ventured the backroads of Maine we had one rule. When the power lines stopped we turned around. But those roads were always peaceful.

[Graeme Stevens]

@joansmor They are peaceful but yes, that's a wise rule

[tony gig]

fantastic capture...fav

[Graeme Stevens]

@tonygig Thanks very much :)
