The Cotter 1 of 2
We ended our drive at The Cotter. The dam on the Cotter River was built to provide drinking water for the new city. A popular picnic area is located at the base of the dam wall. I like this spot with its extensive plantings of exotic trees beside the clear stream.
Yeah, it is lovely, and the old couple make it so warm and inviting. I know it is bleak and winter, but you know what I mean. One of the problems with being a single is the inability to enjoy this sort of singularity.
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.

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect place for a picnic lunch - I would imagine this would be a real haven for bird-life.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a pretty spot. Too cold for me to picnic.
