Very nice pictures.. liked the light in the last one is that a blended exposure/HDR etc? It's nicely finished. I like #2 the best

Yeah the tristis up here a beautiful. I saw one just like that not even an hour ago on McNamara road.

Thanks everyone. The last photo is stock standard, the lighting is from an orange sunset due to fire haze. Its a pretty awesome spot, there are a few more on flickr.

I was very excited by the tristis, it was found during work and two people i was with weren't to phased by it. The third person was an elder and he had never seen a goanna that colourful.

That was a real treat for the eyes. Thanks for that.

Your not kidding, that landscape picture makes me want to visit for the first time. I could sit wherever that picture was taken and stare for hours. (That's saying a lot, I have major add lol) such a beautiful place, for sure one of the top 5 places I am going to go herp in my lifetime.

They are good photos, including the last shot you've just put up. It doesn't matter that it's "quite a boring specimen".
