Sugar cane


From Gympie we moved on through Brisbane to visit more relatives then on down the coast a little way  before turning back inland.  The cities and coastline are too busy for me, I can't even begin to see photographs there.  I much prefer the quieter rural inland.

The crops are very different around here -- sugar cane, pineapples, bananas, macadamia nuts.  This is a field of sugar cane.

    Great photo Joan. As soon as I see the words sugar cane, it instantly takes me back to when we were driving through far north Queensland during harvesting time... an overwhelming sweet cloying smell of the sugar mixed with the humidity. A nice memory :D)

    So you are not a street photographer. Me either but I would like to be. Nice shot of the cane fields and brewing rain. Wish we could get some now.

    Nothing like a good cane fire at harvest time!! Although I don't think that's done so much anymore?

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.
