Small town


Millthorpe's population is around 700 people. The lady at the tea rooms said the town's wealth comes from people working in a nearby gold mine. Also, according to her, as the Blue Mountains have become more populated people seeking small town life are moving further west. I understand the appeal.

    I love the rocking horse tucked in right at the bottom of the beautiful blue hydrangeas.

    Ah yes - the appeal hits the heart instantly. And the depth of colour of those hydrangeas.

    I love any town that does not blush having a rocking-horse like that outside and "antiques" shop.

    Blue hydrangeas are one of my wife's favourite flowers.

    This is a lovely photo! Brick walls, blue flowers and even the rocking horse stay perfectly together.

    I came to refresh my memory. She must have lots of rusty tin in that there soil.

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.
