A Travelling station

[gregh]

I was playing with blue screen effect for overlaying backgrounds on movies to improve the background of my Fibro Flat station. I don’t take pics of movies of that station because it is just up against my house with no background except the fibro wall.
(Def: “fibro”  a flat wallboard originally made from asbestos cement, but now with some other fibre.)

Then I had a thought – if GSC can have a boxcar traveling around the world, why can’t my station travel around the world in hyperspace?  (Note to self here: “check medication and get a life Greg.”)

So here are pics of Fibro Flat station as it moves around Australia and the World.

First the real station with its real background. Not very inspiring


Then  I took a pic of the bush just outside my backyard


Now as fibro was made from asbestos, I thought it had better go to Wittenoom in WA where the stuff was mined


On the Nullarbor plain. (I took this pic from the Indian Pacific train)


At Ayers Rock, the tourists need a stop.


Now a gold mine ghost town
(actually Gwallia in WA – one of the most amazing places I’ve been – see here: http://www.gwalia.org.au/  )


At an outback pub


Overlooking a lake


The National Capital needs a station, so here’s Parliament House, Canberra


maybe we`ll move overseas next........

Now we head overseas

to Arizona


And Stonehenge needs a station for the Druids


The Queen has to stop the Royal Train somewhere

BTW - I'm now getting adverts for asbestos removal popping up on GSC ........ ???

At Beeston Castle, the station could not be routed closer due to heritage concerns.

Ok Ok I'm well impressed & highly amused, but I think you need to get some help.

That's it. I was away for a week and forgot to take my Vegemite with me. I should slowly recover with daily doses retored.

Right

Great fun. You've supplied the inspiration. Now that we have a new Apple computer and free classes to learn it, I will surely try to learn how to do more with my photos and videos.

Why stop at stations - why not have train tours?

 

[spoz]

And don't stop at scenic (or not so scenic) places - there's a number of other situations which could be improved by a station. Senators sleeping in the Senate, most reality TV shows, press conferences by leaders of political parties, speeches at the National Press Club, the list is endless.

Great lateral thinking there, good fun too !
