From the kitchen window
I think of caravanning as a great way to get different views from the kitchen window. Our first night at Gundagai gave us a perfect view of the Murrumbidgee River ... I love to camp by a river. More on that timber bridge tomorrow.
Yes but I find I am a bit lazy and go buy takeaway a lot when we are travelling. No joy in Gundagai though. We went foraging at city hours and all was closed or closing. It daylight saving. Makes me think it is much earlier than it is and it gets worse the further south you go.
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.
What a nice way to view the world through your ever changing kitchen window - your very own "moveable feast"

DeleteNot a bad view from the kitchen window. Hope the river doesn't rise.
ReplyDeleteToo right. Especially when you see the huge river flats in the next couple of shots.
ReplyDeleteThe river flats look like a brilliant place to camp. We stopped by the Niagara Cafe for lunch the last time we were at Gundagai. Did you go there?
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Yes we tried but the kitchen was shutting down so no dinner to be had.
