But only to cheer me up, apparently. At least, that's what he said here. What a kind, caring, and selfless chap he is.
In order to encourage his goal, I present the pics I've been meaning to put up for ages - My trip to Lake Ballard. The original post talking about the day is here if you want some context.
Probably NSFW -

The road to Lake Ballard.

View from the outskirts of the lake. You can see a couple of statues in this shot.

One of the 50+ statues scattered around the area. All were based on laser scans of local people. This is a lady statue.

Close-up view of the texture of the salt lake. I love the look of the crystals. Some sections were pure salt, others were more like this.

Dead emu(?) with statue in the distance. Skeleton was so far gone it was hard to tell, but pretty certain it was emu. Thought it looked great as it was, so didn't want to distrurb the bones to try and figure it out for certain.

Edge of the lake

I love it when nature gives us lines of colour like this. Whites and greens and reds and blues.

Naked and enjoying the sun, the red sand, and the view. I"ve been on salt lakes before, but never one this big.

This is a boy statue.

Another nude self-portrait - full frontal! Yes ladies, that's all real and hard as iron!

Dead grasshopper, with salt crystalising on its body.

The second best nude self-portrait I have ever taken. I'm the one on the right.

The best nude self-portrait I have ever taken. Worked out way better than expected.

Looking at distant friends.

So few women will let me photograph them this way - must remember to send her a copy of the shot!

Although even if I got down to an ideal weight I still don't thing I would be happy with my body *sigh*

Ken would be too afraid of blinding someone with his lily white skin , he would never even take off his shirt to go swimming(although he tends to swim so rarely that I've only seen him go swimming once).

Perth's nice and warm, so you can go early in the day, and then head home before the sun gets to the stage where it will fry you.
Sunnyside in Melbourne I loved. At one point I was down there twice a week, first thing in the morning. Full of gay men it was, strutting the sands, checking one another out :)
