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.
Are they facing (top of head pointing) to the east when the sea appears to be behind them?
ReplyDeleteInteresting question Diane. I just looked it up and as Winam says below they would be facing towards Mecca which is North Westish in Australia. In other parts of the world it will be to the east.
DeleteDoh, that's right.
DeleteLooks like they're facing west towards Mecca to me. Nothing like spirituality in the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteGood to see they feel comfortable praying in the open.
ReplyDeleteGreat captured, Joan. I have visited several Muslim countries and didn't managed to capture a similar scene, never wanted to get caught. :-)
