I also love deserts but, unfortunatelly, my nose likes some moisture and it's hard for me to breath and sleep at night when I'm in such a dry environment.
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.
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.
Yes, I know the joys of a desert landscape after discovering it in recent years.
ReplyDeleteI love this landscape, too. It calls to me.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Australia I have never seen, so thanks Joan.
ReplyDeleteYou must catch the train to Broken Hill one day Mark. Broken Hill is a great destination in its own right.
