Country lines


It should come as no surprise to you that I have included autumn leaves on this trip but the leafy photos are few, something which cannot be said for abandoned houses which are many.

One thing I like about this time of year is that morning begins rather late, so there is time for a nice sleep in under the warm covers to ward off the chilly air (yes there was frost on the grass) before venturing out to take photographs.

We camped at Molong, one of my favourite towns in this region so we have returned here several times.  Interestingly I remembered that three years ago we were here on Mother's Day weekend too.  It must be the call of autumn urging us over the mountains to enjoy the crisp sunny weather.

Visit Molong at 100 towns and you will see this same stand of poplars taken in the evening light on our earlier trip.

  1. A nice photo with the light and the perspective. It's always a little bit strange hearing (sic!) you talking about autumn while we are waiting for summer ... each year the same ;-)

  2. Beautiful row of poplars in both lights - they are glorious decked out in their Autumnal finery.

  3. So they are poplars, I'm not very good with trees (or green things in general). As I think Julie mentioned at one one stage we seem to have even less autumn colour around than usual.

  4. I love poplars in the autumn too. Wish I could sleep in most days in the cooler months, but unfortunately that's not an option at the moment.

  5. I don't like sleeping in. There is too much niceness to miss out on. I think the leaves down here are being swept from the branches before they have a chance to change much at all at the moment.

    Good to have you back.

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.

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.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.
