I took this photo from 7km away, but it was still close enough to turn my hair frizzy and cause my digital watch to tick backwards.

Sunset near Exmouth
In the news this week, the passengers and crew of QF72 are taking legal action against Airbus after their A330 plunged twice while flying near Exmouth in 2008. There was speculation that interference from the Harold E. Holt naval communications base caused the plane's navigation system to malfunction. Below in the distance on the right you can see the stupendously tall radio masts which emit the low frequency signals in question, the centre one at 387m was once the tallest artificial structure in the southern hemisphere. All of them are taller than the Eiffel Tower.

ReplyDeleteWhy is there a cross in the foreground?
On the hill are remains of an observation post where soldiers watched for Japanese during WW2. Perhaps there was a fatality during the war.
