A short colourful drive
We were out at our block this weekend and decided to take a drive, just heading out along a road not much worrying where it took us. With all of the rain we have been having lately the landscape is unbelievable green.
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.
Gosh, what a change a bit of rain makes. It's almost miraculous.
ReplyDeleteLooking good :D)
ReplyDeleteTis so green, like in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteWow, that rain really did brighten the landscape.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Ireland but I was thinking Irish green too ... it being so close to St Patrick's day as well.
