Thanks useful information: 8

While perusing Google Earth looking at the road from Hobart to Waddamana I noticed a very strange looking formation a little way off the road. I have made 2 screendumps and the lat/long ref is: 42' 19' 52.87S / 146' 56' 05.76E Anyone have any idea at all what this is? Or if it is real at all and not just a Google artifact?

Those strange things are Dams Odille!
I would also recommend some time going to Lauderdale, South Arm, O'Possum Bay. There is some great scenery to be had down that way, including sunsets over the Derwent, looking back up the river to Hobart.

I do plan trips south, I haven't been down that area, I will make point of including it. Thanks!Originally Posted by ricktas

I don't think Rick means dams in the sense that the water has been dammed up to stop moving [like Gordon Dam etc] but just the waterholes on rural properties that are called dams. If that makes any sense :P

Actually, upon further inspection, I'm mistaken and it is a dam, in the traditional sense of the word. See image below

Yes, I took another look and realised it was, and went back and tried to delete my second post about it, but although the delete choice came up and it was in the time frame it just wouldn't let me!Actually, upon further inspection, I'm mistaken and it is a dam, in the traditional sense of the word.

Maybe I need new glasses!

Well, I arrived OK last night and woke up this morning with the snuffles and a sore throat, but happily seem to have thrown it off. Have seen the rellies off on their jaunts, and thought I might drive over to Bellerive tonight for the sunset.
I investigated Google maps and thought somewhere along Victoria Esplanade where I see there are little jetties out into the water might be nice. If anyone wants to join me the mobile is 0414 952 604, please SMS your name and number to me and I'll pop you on my memory, so I know who is calling when you ring. I'll go over about 1815 - time and date says sunset is 1948 so that will give me time for a bit of an explore and to work out what the sun is doing and where it will set.
Hi Odille, Welcome back to Tassie. I cannot join you this evening, unfortunately. I will be free from next Tuesday evening (I am only working monday and tuesday next week), so from the morning of 2nd November I will be up for a meet.
Hi Odille, I can't make it tonight, I have taken your phone number and may be able to catch up for one of your other trips.
*pokes head out window* doesn't look like the sunset is overly fantastic out there!

It wasn't terrific Amy but I got some nice rays amongst the clods pre sunset. Not processed yet as I am downloading PS5.5 to Tony's IMac. When it is done I'll have a play.*pokes head out window* doesn't look like the sunset is overly fantastic out there!

I won't be doing a lot of editing while I am here! Tony's iMac is so slow compared to mine, I have 4Gb RAM but he has never upgraded his and utonly has 2Gb. PS5.5 runs like a one legged duck! I will have to try to master lightroom. How do you save a version you have edited from Lightroom, anyone?

Some shots from Bellerive yesterday afternoon, linked from My RedBubble
This morning I am planning a drive to Taroona for a hopefully nice sunrise. I will be at the end of Melinga Place off Flinders Esplanade where there are some boathouses. The car is a silver Citroen C4, my mobile # is 0414 952 604 if anyone wants to join me. Then I plan to drive south for an explore.
Sorry for the late notice but last night I crashed at 7.30pm and have now woken up of course, in the middle of the night, wide awake. Irritating internal clock!
Saving in Lightroom is called 'exporting' it is under the FILE menu.

Thanks Rick. A stunning sunrise this morning, the most beautiful pinks and cloud formations, but I am having trouble editing. Tony's monitor is not calibrated, of course, and I didn't think to bring my Spider, silly me. Also, it keeps hanging in PS. I'll have a go with Lightroom.
I have lent my spyder to a friend at present, otherwise you could have borrowed it Odille. Looks possible for a thunderstorm tonight. Might be some lightning shots to be had a bit later in the evening.
Anyone up for a sunset/evening shoot tonight?
Just seen this but it will be a bit late for me now as I would have a 30 minute drive at least and hubby has the car.
Couldnt make it along but snapped a shot out towards the East from my house. Not the best photo but one none-the-less.

Damn, I didn't see this either! I've been doing lots of research on oast houses at the State Library as I am going to attempt a book about them. There are lots of technical ones but I want to do one from a tourism type aspect.
tassam380 - can't see your attachment - can you redo it?
