"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring" William Wordsworth

I'll end this tour of Kandos with some images of things common in country towns that are not necessarily found in the cities. Icon 1 -- barb wire and chicken wire fences (and another of my favourites - derilict buildings).
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.
It always amazes that such ordinary objects can be elevated to such lofty heights.
ReplyDeleteBarbed wire AND chicken wire ... intermeshed like that ... the barbed wire looses its effectiveness ... but a lovely sight ...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty little town.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot. Difficult to focus on the wire rather than the building.
ReplyDeleteNice image
ReplyDeleteLove the blurred decay and the contrast to the focused wire. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteDad died at 5:15 this morning. Strangely enough, it was quite beautiful.
