Water Rising

Lake Windemere
Over the past couple of years I've been watching this scene change from dried out puddles to a lovely lake.  Check out how it looked from this spot 18 months ago.  Its water storage is now around 50%

    An excellent photo! This much depth and nice composition.

    And now I am wondering why I read "Lady Windemere" at first glance ... who is Lady Windemere ... Lord Windemere ... have to google ...

    It's really filled up, hasn't it. And to think that's it's only 50% full. At a 100% those trees in the middle of the shot would be underwater.

    Martina, your memory is serving you well "Lady Windermere's Fan" a play written by Oscar Wilde.

    Winam, perhaps it has never been full but it has certainly been higher ... the rim where it has been previously can be seen all around the edge. Quite a lot of the trees seem to be drowned again already.

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.
