49. Trains
All trains are exciting but there is nothing quite like a steam train.
BTW, I seem to have got my counting wrong and have more than 50 favourite things so this series will go on for a few extra days rather than finishing tomorrow.
I have enjoyed quite a lot of lovely train trips with you via your blog. Read about a great trip today starting around Anzac day for a week, on the Southern Aurora following the troop train lines into Victoria, ACT, Qld and NSW.
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.
Love steam trains. Good shot.
