Train travel


I really like the ads at the railway station, gives me something to look at while I wait.  I like the Opal cards too, so convenient. But quiet carriages can sometimes be a bit of hazard, some people get very agro when someone makes a noise and start making a bigger noise themselves.

  1. We certainly waited a long, long time for those Opal cards. Melbourne and Brisbane had their version installed years ago.

    1. Took a lot of time and money. I can't quite figure out why.

      Was talking to the station master this morning. The older folk are transitioning to Opal Ok. Apparently much better than when they stopped selling tickets and forced people to use machines.

  2. Great capture, Joan. I love the sense of movement you get from this perspective.

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.

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.
