Shade
The day was hot so the shade was welcome. What I like about a real rural show is that it is in its natural environment ... soft soil and shady trees rather than hard bitumen and glare on cement buildings.
I've loved your photos of Rylstone. Aren't there some gorgeous buildings? I think my favourite is the vets - I love the stairs on the side. I think I would like to visit Rylstone - it looks like my kind of place.
Letty, there are lovely stone homes and churches in Rylstone as well which I hope to photograph and share one day. I am sure you would enjoy this town ... it really is a treasure.
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.
So true and the people are real country people.

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing worse than the Royal Easter Show in Sydney. SUch a mish-mash ...
ReplyDeleteJulie, I am inclined to agree. I have only gone once or twice.
