Rolling green
What a difference rain makes. Last time we were out this way the paddocks were dry and browning off in extreme heat. But with good rains they were turning green again, and we've had heaps more rain since then.
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.
And look at the length of the fodder the paddocks are carrying!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the farms are large, I guess they would have to be if they're keeping grazing animals. This is a more familiar landscape to me.
