blackhawk down

it landed in a local park this afternoon, but i didnt get to see it for quite  a few hours... and until it was dark.

had to photo as best i could with the huge sports lights that were on for the kids to play

 and with my trusty small camera. it  was verging on a carnival spirit really with people coming and going .

i had been going to go to that park with dog...but didnt when there were so many helicopters overhead.!!!

i figured there had been a traffic accident and i wasnt going to mess with peak hour snarled traffic

 just to walk a dog. it was part of a formation of four apparently.

when i got there  around 9.30pm some of the soldiers were playing footy with some of the kids who were scheduled to be there for practise and for whom the huge lights had been turned on.

eveyone started to come home apparently when the sports lights were turned off.

a lot of people were there .....as many as Santa attracts ...

or the huge water bombers in the bushfires do
