A lucky catch....

On our way North and West. Standing admiring this huge silo mural when we heard a train approaching. It's not a very good photo but it does show the size of the murals compared to the 2 engines and approx 60 carriages of the train. Each of the carriages was also graffitied - made for a very colourful combo.

What a cool design!

Great artwork on the Silo’s. This makes the very ordinary structures look extraordinary.

Great catch of the train. The painted silos in country towns are a real treat

[Babs]

Wow the train really does give the shot perspective. I would love to see some of the silo art. Maybe next year.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great timing and excellent shot!

[Peter Dulis]

nice capture

[Corinne C]

Wow, this is amazing

[Jane Pittenger]

They are huge and quite beautiful

[Shutterbug]

Nice capture. I really love to see artists painting walls, tank, silos and other “canvases”.

[Rick]

Wow, the train really does show the size of the silos. Great shot. Looks like some nice artistic work on the silos.

[Diana]

How amazing is that, I find it great that the train came just at the right time to show the scale! They are absolutely beautiful!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture and timing. The silos are gigantic compared to the long train.

[Margaret Brown]

Love it!

@casablanca Hi Casablanca - silo art has become a real "thing" over here - we're looking forward to seeing lots, and they usually are closely related to the area around them. This one was tied to a lily pond which is part of the local aboriginal lore. :)

@wakelys Hi Susan - and it also helps hide how ugly they really are! LOL

[Rob Z]

@wakelys Hi Susan - aren't they awesome? We're going to try to do some of them out near Horsham too.

@onewing Hi Babs. Apparently there's a lot in a trail that starts near Horsham - we're hoping to see some of them, but they are quite spread out...

[Rob Z]

@shutterbug49 Hi Debbie - thanks for your comment - these things are normally really ugly, so the paintings come as a pleasant surprise. We're hoping to see quite a few. :)

@rickster549 Hi Rick. Silo art is a bit of a "thing" over here - it sure helps improve the look of a silo! :)

[Rob Z]

@ludwigsdiana Hi Diana - they are marvellous to see - and the train just showed how big they are. I have no idea how the artists can keep track of what they are doing when they're way up there. We're hoping to see quite a few of them.. Cheers Rob

Great art and beautiful capture.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great find

[Helge E. Storheim]

WOW, didn't realize how big they were until I saw the train. Great mural and great shot

[Delwyn Barnett]

That is a fabulous photograph - the train is so good to give perspective, I sure wouldn't have guessed what size those silos are.
