Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON (Image ID: Sydney2010-6461)This shot of a submarine's conning tower and radar scanner was not shot at sea. It was shot inland, in the Australian Outback!
Trust me, there really is a full-size submarine in the parkland (yes, you DID read that right) in the tiny New South Wales town of Holbrook.
I shot this during the Easter long weekend this year and when I posted it a few days later on my Red Bubble site, I was not prepared for the reaction it attracted. The shot received almost 500 hits in a couple of hours.
Incidentally, if you fancy your title-writing skills and your sense of humour, you might like to try a fun contest I just posted here.

Yes, very well put, iMac!
Nice to see you back on-line again (I must have been sleeping during lesson). You have been sorely missed. Your sense of humour has fortunately not changed :-)

That is an unusual shot. No wonder that it attracted attention.
No way is this one going out to sea.

A submarine in the outback? That's novel! :)
Hi RuneE,
Glad you like this shot. Great to see your comment!
Thanks, Maggie - and the nearby cafe where the food is excellent (I can personally vouch for it) is called The Submarine Cafe.
Hi Akelamalu - you never know aht you'll see next in the Outback!
As long as it didn't originate from Portland there is no need for alarm.
Love the crisp industrial feel of this, David...I can see it hanging in a NYC museum of Modern art or dominating the walls of a penthouse loft!! The color and clarity are amazing! ~J.
