Here is another collage from the endurance ride that we attended on the weekend. It was held in Merredin, Western Australia.
Although the weather was warm and sunny, the mornings and evenings were chilly and the owners of the property kept a great campfire going. As you can see in one of the photos, a lounge suite, purchased very cheaply, made great seating around the fire.
The fire itself was contained in the end of a large cement mixer, the type that would be carried on a truck. There is no house on the property, just a huge caravan which has been ‘built in’ to the area and given a verandah. There is a flushing toilet and shower, and a sea-container which holds a great many items which came in handy on the day.
The top two photos show two dogs made of farm machinery scraps. The bodies are springs. One has a hatchet for a head and pieces of chain for ears and the other has a hammer for a head and spark plugs for ears. One tail is half a horseshoe and the legs are horseshoes.
The shadow in the lower right photo is me taking the photo.

Ok. Glad you had fun at the show. Locally, Delta raging, over 500 yesterday covid-19 cases, so limited gathering implemented again.

@oahuwriter Delta has almost taken control in our eastern states too. They are really battling to contain it.

News tonight, Gov. and Mayors meeting, to discuss what to do. Today over 300 covid-19 cases, hospital at or near capacity icu beds. Doctors requesting 1 month shutdown. Then my tv froze. Got a text service outage from Spectrum, my cable people. But, it came on in 49 minutes.. Tomorrow news should have the next step. My eye glasses, might be ready this week. I'll give my optician a call to see what to be done if shutdown occurs. Hoping he'll call before a shutdown occurs.

the photos showing two dogs are really wow and the way of defining the body parts of the dog with the machinery is really interesting.

It took me long to figure out those dogs. But I could spot your shadow instantly.
Are you back home from the endurance ride or heading to another one?
