You know you are in the country

You know you are in the country when you can get a picture of a disused dunny, wooden wagon wheel, cement wash tubs and 44 gallon drum sprayed with bullet holes all in the one shot without setting it up. mmmm ... I am still a country girl at heart.

Musing:
From Homesickness by Yu Guangzhong, a renowned writer from Taiwan.
"In my childhood,
Homesickness was a small stamp,
I was here, and my mother was over there;
When I grew up,
Homesickness was a small tomb,
With me outside, and my mother inside;
But now,
Homesickness is a shallow strait,
I am on this side, and the mainland is on the other side."

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.

Sweet Wayfaring
