Looking out to the countryside Saturday challenge - through a glass pane.

Cooroy, Queensland. Sunday Challenge... Two of something, together or apart.

Spotted Dove/Streptopelia chinensis Queensland, taken through a window. Love his spotty collar :-) Spotted Doves are mostly light brown above, with darker centres to the feathers of the back and wings. The head is grey, and the neck and underparts are grey-brown, tinged with pink. In flight the white-tipped tail is clearly seen. The distinguishing feature is the large black collar on the base of the hind-neck, which has many white spots. Sexes are similar in plumage. Young Spotted Doves are similar to adults, but have a mostly dark grey collar instead of black and white. The Spotted Dove is native to eastern Asia. It was introduced into Australia in the mid-1800s and early 1900s and quickly became established. It is now a common sight throughout eastern Australia, and around the major towns and cities in southern and south-western Australia. birdsinbackyards.net/species/Streptopelia-chinensis Sunday challenge B&W

Day 2 2012 Road Trip to Sydney from Queensland. Pacific Highway. South Ballina to Old Bar via Nambucca Heads and Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie, New South Wales. Broadwater is a small town in the Richmond Valley local government area, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. In 2006, the town had a population of 463 people. It is on the Pacific Highway. The history of Broadwater has largely revolved around its sugar mill. In 1863 Henry Cook and Alexander MacDonald became the first people to select land in the area. To begin with, sugar was grown and crushed on the small private farms in the region. The Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR) opened the town's sugar mill in 1880. In the early days sugar cane was grown as far up the Richmond River as the town of Bexhill and was carried to the mill on punts. In 1978 CSR sold the mill to the newly formed New South Wales Sugar Milling Cooperative, which established its head office at Broadwater. Today Broadwater is the centre of the region's highly mechanised sugar industry, which is still a major employer. In recent years the area has also seen an influx of new settlers, attracted by its peaceful rural lifestyle. Wikipedia TSC Through the car window. "Forest Gump" photography. Why Forest Gump.. Well you stick the camera out of the vehicle window and shoot at random... "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get" Monochrome version in the note on this image :-) The original had a really bright blue sky so I toned it down.
