More beauty



Here we are saying goodbye to Wilpena Pound and the beautiful Flinders Ranges for a while.  Truly this place is so gorgeous I had sensory overload.

    Sigh, it really is a lovely place. You've captured it so well, too.

    Love the wide angle lens here capturing the wind in the upper atmosphere. I agree with your assessment of WP ... another must see place.

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.
