Fantastic! That is astonishing. Re the "tyres": When we moved to our present location it was in pretty bad shape. I've lost the pictures to a dead hard drive but I had a series of photographs of all the various kinds of tires/tyres that were left here. I comforted myself by thinking of them as some kind of art installation. They were kind of cool looking....but I was really glad when they were all gone.
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.
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.
That is so "Australian".
ReplyDeleteYes. Could not agree more - quintessial aussie!!
ReplyDeleteI burst out laughing: the down-at-heel-ness of the entire structure is so delightful.
I nearly mentioned tyre gardens in the dunny picture but I think it is more like a wheel rim - which is a first for me.
This is a corker, Joan.
Great series! Fantastic captures and details too.

Yipes PJ, I'm glad you didn't keep the tyres ... or worse yet you could have turned them into tyre swans!
