Canola


Here's the reason for this trip.  I wanted to see the canola fields in flower.

    Beautiful! This reminds me of the blooming mustard fields in Rajasthan, India. I had to look for canola, but even in portuguese I haven't heard of it before. Shame on me! :-)

    Lovely picture. Is it in full bloom? I seem to remember them in Victoria being more yellow with no green showing. They are a magnificent scene.

    Lovely - I especially like those tracks you can see going off into the distance.

    JM, it is probably called Rape Seed in your part of the world.

    Diane, no it was not fully out hence not quite as yellow as I hoped.

    Megan, I noticed those tracks too and was careful to get them into the image.

Windy August

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.

Big sky country 3

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.
