The road is straight and land is dry. It is the dry season but they apparently had a dry wet season so people are beginning to worry about drought again out here.
As we push further west the trees give way to grasslands.
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.
Love the top photo. It looks like an oil painting.
ReplyDeleteI liked it too. So even though it is just another photo of trees I figured it was worth posting it.
DeleteI only had the conversation about drought 2 days ago, saying we must be reaching that part of the cycle again :(
ReplyDeleteDrought has apparently come around a little faster than expected.
