It was the local track for them. Those distinctive pylons in the corner of the picture, Thanks again Hemidav for the N.E. images.

 

What are those coiled lines behind the drivers side? Any ideas?

 

Still chilly up your way.....here Tues. was 100+ and just getting used to it...followed up with 110+. But Mother looked kindly and we've dropped to the low 80's for next few days. Sunny Sth. Australia...the driest state in the driest continent on this planet. You gotta love it,or ...you know the rest.

 

Thanks for these snow photos. In Australia,no capital city or any other for that matter has snow like this! It is a fact that in our Great Divide,southern,we have more snow area than Switzerland.But I'm sure that pales to other countries,being the US,Canada et al In my 78 yrs. I've been to our snow twice...and that was just to let our kids experience the joy of something totally foreign to our home state..

 

Don't see much happiness there,Tom.
