Cogs 'n stuff
State Mine Heritage Park, Lithgow
The grounds are filled with lots of interesting equipment. From my perspective 'twas their photogenic possibilities but for miners and engineers I'm sure they have more practical appeal.
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.
We had a study day in Lithgow during the week. Unfortunately I missed these great sights as the day was located at the RSL (or similar) and hospital
ReplyDeleteVery nice ones. :-) Esp. the second with its repetitive patterns.
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful, big machines and rusting metal!
ReplyDeleteLove the patterns of the teeth in both ... well cogs, as you say. I can see why the site made such an impression upon you.
ReplyDeleteooo - that's just what I need.
ReplyDeleteOne of those with the spikes - to aerate my lawn.
Both shots are terrific, but I'm amazed with the second as I have never seen such a 'thing'!
