We headed north through more incredibly green farming country with soft rolling hills. Just outside Burra the hills are topped with wind turbines … Australia’s largest wind farm. I counted 30 of them.
Not sure how I feel about wind farms. I appreciate the energy they create and realise that my great-grandchildren will regard them as normal. However, they do blight the landscape.
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 top photo reminds me of the American Great Plains. Lovely shot.

ReplyDeleteI like them. They make the landscape interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe hills were yellow with ready to harves wheat when we were there. There are 170 turbines.
