Well after 2 weeks off turned into 7 weeks off a little too quickly we finally got back out on the road for more aerial work. This time the target area is Grafton. God damn there is some chilly arsed weather going about at the moment. On the ground I’m mostly wearing a jacket but get up a hundred meters in that plane with the door off and the wind chill factor makes for some rather less than pleasant shooting conditions. Still I only have a couple hrs work a day to do (max) so I can’t really complain too much. We are staying in rather a nice hotel on the river at South Grafton and there is a big L-shaped balcony that overlooks both the sunrise and sunset. Had a bit of an adventure when the door lock on our room broke and locked us in. I had to climb out the window and scurry across the roof top to climb in another window in the common area and open our door with the key from the outside. Anyways as I was on the roof a girl in another room must have glanced out and got an awful fright at seeing someone climb across the roof because I heard a loud scream followed by some curses I can’t repeat here *chuckles*
Anyways we got our lock fixed now so it’s all good. Found this sign, which made me laugh:
Seems that if you want to get up to mischief now is the time to do it.
Next up are a couple aerial snaps, first one of a road winding through trees, second one of a house we came across on fire and third is just a general pretty shot of some sugar cane farms:
When I haven’t been up in the air, scurrying across rooftops or laughing at funny signs I’ve been taking some advantage of the river outside our doorstep to snap off a few sunset shots:
