I'm prone to sea sickness too but it wasn't the boats on this trip it was a ride in the very back of a 4WD bus that had me struggling ... more on that a loooong way further down the track.
You've started an interesting line of thought Diane and Julie. Sailing boats say Sydney harbour to me. Dry red inland says South Australia. So how does Queensland speak?
I think it is the extreme lushness of the vegetation that says Queensland to me as well as the heat and humidity that goes with it.
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.
You have wandered into warmer climes .... SO nice to see that brush of pink on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteThere is something special being by the water at sunrise and sunset. I often admire your shots of the beach.
DeleteThat IS Queensland!
ReplyDeleteThe sea seems so calm. It almost makes someone who's prone to seasickness like me take up sailing.

DeleteAh ... now QLD to me is not the ocean, but the dry red inland. Strange how our impressions are bedded down ...

What a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the sunlight caught on the side of the boats in the distance.
