Countryside


Next we went to go find Gumble.  There is not so much as a sniff of a town at Gumble, but there is an old hall.  I see on the web that the Gumble Cricket Club had a fundraising ball there 8 months ago. In February there was a workshop on "Managing flies and lice in your sheep flock."   And the fox baiting group met there in March.  A busy place it seems.

After the green, green, green of this summer the grass is browning off for the winter, except in places where new crops have been sown and land is being prepared for winter planting.

I've added a shot of Gumble Hall in localities at 100 Towns.

    Had to guffaw! The list of three event is just classic.

    Aren't dying thistles a photographer's joy?

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.
