Favourite things
I said I would be finding favourite things on this drive. Here's an abandoned dwelling near Capertee. Commenters have asked if I explore these places, which I don't, even if I did I would have given this one a miss with that prickly blackberry at the door.
35C is bordering on the warm side. And judging from the shadow it is close to middAY. What allow a wee blackberry bush to dictate your explorations. Lassie lassie lassie where is your country upbringing!!
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.

ReplyDeleteYour photos are really terrific. I stumbled upon your blog and thought I'd invite you to read mine.

How do I fall behind with your blog? I think my brain is shrinking.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love corrugated anything. I wouldn't go inside there either...
I wouldn't get out of the car to explore in that heat either. great shot of delapidated dwelling.
ReplyDeleteRusty roof, stonewalls, wooden window wings (eeeh ... ), abandoned building - what more could the photographer's hear wish for? ;-)
ReplyDeleteStill 1.5 °C here.
Not a bad guess Julie ... 11:34 to be precise, still morning so more heat to come. Forget the blackberry, I just don't go through fences.
ReplyDeleteDiane, without the humidity you have in Brissie the temperature doesn't feel quite as bad.
Martina ... eeek it's gotta be very chilly winter morning for us to get temperatures so low.
Paula, it probably my fault because of the way I jump between BMJ and SW
Ms Rhonchell ... welcome.
These old crumbling buildings really are a photographer's treasure.
ReplyDeleteits amazing to me how you find these shots to take
ReplyDeletesomething that would normally be so depressing or unnerving to some you make look so beautiful
