Voyage of the Money Spenders

You've got to love Hollywood! This isn't a condemned sewerage plant, it's actually a section of castle battlements made at great expense for the Narnia blockbuster 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader'. It was plonked down on the Gold Coast while we were living there (right near the Dog Beach) because the producers liked the quality of light for filming. After sitting there for some months (we never actually saw them film anything), it suddenly disappeared and we heard it had been shipped off (again at great expense) to somewhere in California for another epic blockbuster. Makes you wonder if it was the light or the lifestyle they really came for? I know if I had millions of dollars to throw around, I'd be looking for the best light too. In Hawaii perhaps, or somewhere on the Mediterranean (plenty of good light there).
