34. Mountains
I love mountains too and it was tempting to choose another shot of our beautiful Blue Mountains which I showed yesterday or the Flinders Ranges which I showed at number 25. But instead I chose a mountain in the desert ... the Breakaways in South Australia.
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.
Kind of little Uluru! :-) Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes but much littler. I have not been to Uluru but certainly plan to address that ... probably not this year however.
DeleteA magical landscape, best wishes for 2015.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. I find all of the inland magical.
DeleteUnusual mountain
ReplyDeleteThe landscape out that way is very much central Australia and hence very stark and beautiful at the same time.
