My first outing with a camera in over a year. Did a 500 km round trip to photograph four new painted silos in regional Victoria, Australia in one day.

This is a two shot pano to get over the fence for a cleaner view. There is a pink galah in the shadow that wont come up due to the ladder shadow. Need to get there in morning light.

Nikon Z6-2. @4-70 f2.8, F8, 1/500s Iso 180. Handheld.

The painted birds are beautiful, plus there was a real magpie in the tree singing his lovely song as I was photographing.

Interesting, I had no idea silo art existed and cool to see these birds on them. Thanks for sharing, Kim.

I agree.  What a great idea to turn blots on the landscape into art galleries!
