15. Country people


Country people like big hats and country music and make their own entertainment ... and I like that too.

  2. Another fantastic shot - love this one.
    Lights, fire, hats, guitars, awnings.

    1. The awnings and timber building ... a dead giveaway that it is in Queensland. It was the June in Injune event.

  3. Great shot of impromptu concert. A warm glow and feeling is shining through.

    1. Not exactly impromptu. The country people put on these events as part of an annual celebration. Yes it was a very warm event on a very cold night.

  4. I experiened a country sing-a-long once when I toured the Kimberleys. It was cringe-worthy. It so aped everything Nashville. I simply had to leave.

    1. I think country is a bit of acquired taste, drunk with mother's milk. While my parents were not fans of country music it had a way of just being there on the radio, at local concerts etc. I too am not keen on the American flavour these days.

      I have found the sing-a-longs at campsites so be somewhat varied in quality.

  5. I can almost feel the heat from the fire. The silhouette in the foreground works really well here.

    1. I was shooting hand held and you have no idea how many images I took trying to get a decent shot of that silhouette.

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.
