I've long thought this structure was a little bit rural Rothsko-esque. Finally (a) had time to stop, and (b) got the right light on the morning of Christmas Eve whilst on my way to collect our festive seafood. If China doesn't want our wonderful crayfish/lobsters we sure do.
I live in Geelong, a Victorian regional city in southeastern Australia. Golf and photography are my main interests, and together account for most of my...
This is great. On our way to Auckland, we pass a container storage area where they are stacked really high and there are so many of them. I am hankering after an image, but from the motorway it is somewhat tricky!
Great textures and bands of colour. The interesting over here with the Chinese ban our crayfish is that our major exporter is now Chinese owned and they can't export to China.
@maggiemae Gosh that was a good price. Ours was around twice that much. Bloody tasty though, and a rare treat. When I was a lot younger crays were a treat, but not only for the rich. Then the rest of the world caught on. :(
@dide l know what you mean, there are several shots from the Ring Road fwy that I'd love to take but no hope of that. One of the industrial remnants has now been demolished. :(
@ludwigsdiana Most of ours do too Diana, it's only thanks to China having a tantrum about Aussie imports that we have good ones available here at half-reasonable prices. I'd be quite happy if we stopped exporting our goodies overseas and the prices reverted to what was normal.
@merrelyn What a delicious irony. I believe the same is true for a Chinese owned coal mine. Mind you, I strongly believe we should stop exporting coal anyway.
@gilbertwood I've been watching for ages and ages, so glad I finally got a chance to stop in good light. Crays, let's hope the Chinese continue their tanty so we can get to have one from time to time.
Yes- very Rothsko indeed! Interesting story about the Chinese reaction to Australian imports. Of we have the Chinese to thank for one of the worst "exports" in history- the Corona virus.
@olivetreeann China seems to have decided to make an example of Australia so other countries can see what happens if you don't do as you're told (by them). They're putting huge pressure of all kinds on Oz, needless to say the main effect this is having is for us to dig in and stick to our democratic rights and principles. We are, of course, being punished too because of our close relationship with the US. They're not game to do the same to your country. Sheer bully tactics. But backfiring bigtime: damage to China's own economy and people, Oz is finding other markets and the rest of the free world is watching closely and doesn't like what they're seeing. Plus COVID too. Not exactly a friendly regional friend.
