Tidbinbilla
We dropped into the cafe at the Tidbinbilla tracking station for lunch. This and nearby Honeysuckle Creek played a part in the moon landing in the 1960s.
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.
An interesting place - quite imposing to drive up to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I think I had the same feeling looking at the photo as the 'apes' did on the first scene of Kubrick's "2001: a Space Odyssey". :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved visiting this spot - but we got attacked by wasps out on the verandah.
