    This sort of subject is difficult. I like this one the most.

    I have been wanting to get some shots of the kangaroos / wallabies reasonably close for ages but normally can't get closer than about 100mtrs when I am walking about (it is said their eyesight isn't very good but they must make up for it with their hearing). So I was surprised when a few hopped into view less 50m away from my verandah. I expected them to leave quickly from the slightest sound but they hung around and I managed to sneak inside and get my camera. I also managed to get the dog to sit down and stay (she chases them - thinks they are a threat).
    Was horribly overcast and not many were very well focused but managed a couple.
    I think they are Eastern Greys but not 100% sure...

    Yes. I'm glad we don't actually live in the LDNP - far too much traffic and humanity, but these views are a gift (when we can see them!)

    I love this one. It's a little bit eerie, as though they mean you harm. Maybe I need counselling.

    It seems like your destiny was to make these photos, the satnav and the local lady cant be a coincidence :)
    I can’t understand why churches have so many gory scenes; they’re supposed to be places of peace and calm, aren't they?

    It is a very nice use of BW.

    This is incredible. You’ve definitely nailed the movement here.

    They look very alert on the second shot. I always find kangaroos scary !

    They even stood to attention for you. Fascinating creatures.

    Not just gory stuff. They loved a bit of porno too. Look at the last picture with the well endowed fellow. Or the twin tailed mermaids.

    Seriously, these people lived brief often violent lives. Most of this imagery depicts a fight between good and evil in a way the people could understand. There was no place for happy clappy guitar playing and singing in the medieval church.
