Yes, I am with Megan - very atmospheric That's what the European think is Australia - long dirt roads and a van somewhere in the distance, kicking up the dust.
And yet most people live in parts of Australia that look nothing like this and most of the cars never leave sealed road. That is not to say there are not thousands of miles of road like this, just the most of us don't live anywhere near them.
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.
Wow, that second photograph is incredible. I love the dust getting kicked up in the distance.

ReplyDeleteWe live in a glorious landscape. It is such a joy to go where few of us travel ...
