At the end of the march


I end this Anzac day series with a shot of this lovely lady, the modern face of our armed forces.  She is a Wing Commander and her medals are from service in Afghanistan.

    These are touching portraits Joan. I'm glad that you had the courage to approach strangers. I haven't found mine yet.

      It takes little courage for me talk to strangers but I have not asked to photograph one before. It seemed very natural this day. I think the tiny camera makes a difference.

    The whole series is a wonderful tribute to the day.

      Thanks Vicki. My hubby says I gave the lady an early promotion (she is a Squadron Leader) but it was so lovely to meet her either way.

Windy August

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.

Big sky country 3

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.
