Big sky country 9



We have driven past the Flinders Ranges through greener country, arriving at Port Augusta as the day was closing in.  Port Augusta is a city so we are in small sky country but it was so surprising to be beside the sea I had to use this shot. If you look at the map you will see the Spencer Gulf reaches right up into the centre of the state.

  2. Such a shock to see this image rise up ... mirage like.

    You have an interesting concept of 'middle'!

    When I was in PA just after Easter 2007, my camera and I have a wonderful time on the piers with old rail lines along them.

    Grand shot, BTW.

  3. Silhouettes galore! I love the layers of clouds, bridge/tree line, water, and plants in the foreground. Brilliant composition.

  4. Oh wow - this is magnificent. Beautiful lighting and color. And I'm always a fan of reflections in water :)

  5. Thanks for the nice comments ... it WAS quite a shock to the senses after all the desert. We set up camp in a big hurry so we could get back to the water to catch a shot before the light died.

  6. Great sky and great watery reflection.

Windy August

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.
