Party is over
The annual Floriade exhibition is held in Commonwealth Park -- it is a spectacular display of tulips, daffodils and other cold climate spring flowers. A month of two on and this is how it looks.
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.
Wow, it's really stripped back, isn't it? I suppose they don't begin construction for next year's until late summer or autumn.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see it in bloom . Hopefully next year.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great to have a go in that little digger?
ReplyDeleteThis is the shot they don't want you to see!
ReplyDeleteSimilar to what happens in the D0main at this time of year. Tragic really...
