Big sky country 7
We rolled into the small town of Marree a little later than expected because of the tyre, but there was time to find out where to get it replaced and to book a flight over Lake Eyre the next morning.
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.
These kind of finds really amaze me. Fantastic shot!
ReplyDeleteThat is Australiana to a T. This is great I'll be able to have a preview of our trip next month.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous shot.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that's not your car. It needs more than a tyre.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a scene out of Mad Max.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a fancy car wreck ;-).
ReplyDeleteAnd I forgot to activate email follow ups so I have to say something more ...
ReplyDeleteMaybe, the owner of this car did not have a spare tyre.
ReplyDeleteThere is never any shortage of car wrecks in the country but the extreme landscape adds an extra element of fun to the photo.
