Hampton


Today we went for a drive out Oberon way with a view to ticking of the remaining towns in that area. On the way you pass through Hampton, a little hamlet on the road to Jenolan Caves. The most prominant part of the town these days are the two wind turbines on the hill.

We don't have a lot of them around these parts so they are really quite exciting.

 For a glimpse of the rest go visit 100 Towns.

    I am always fascinated by those wind turbines..

    Two would not seem, to my brain, to be sufficient to power much at all. Guess they feed into a grid of some sort. Perhaps they capture the wind coming up the gullies ...

      They were at a dead stop on Saturday, though usually they are turning.

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.
