Flanking the ring is the side show with all its gaudy trinkets and trashy food. I always wanted one of those kewpie dolls on a stick ... never did get one.
I got one. Which became separated from the cane it was on. The cane lived on top of the kitchen cupboard for whackings. You had to be pretty bad to get "the stick" - but geez it hurt. (now I'm gunna go and tell my mum I've told the w.w.w. she used to whack me - hehheehee - sweet revenge).
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.
Oh I know the ones you mean - yes, I too wanted one. LOL, such deprived childhoods ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the angle and colours. I remember shooting the ducks I wasn't into cupie dolls.
ReplyDeleteNow you've made me smile! :-) What a very cool image.
