Yes it does have an Aussie feel. We read of people heading off to France and Italy to restore old rural buildings but I somehow feel this one and many others in Oz are for the termites not a repair job.
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.
It is a lovely house. I love how its colours seem to be blend into the plains.
ReplyDeleteYes that is what appeals to me in it too.
DeleteAnd the undulating paddocks ... and the tanks still not pilfered ... and the squareness of the structures.
ReplyDeleteI like the framing, how the rise in the land just skims the top of the building. And yes it is great that the tanks are still there.
DeleteBeautiful photo. It has that uniquely Australian feel.
