After the desert this greenery was quite a shock - and completely unexpected. Very often the Flinders Ranges backdrop to these fields of green looked like painted stage backdrops. Glorious.

| Flinders Ranges - en route to Wilpena Pound. Impossibly green. |
 |
| The Ranges here look like watercolour paintings in the evening light - magical. |
 |
| Chambers Gorge - en route to Arkaroola -one of my favourite photos and gorges |
 |
| the road into Arkaroola in the Gammon Ranges. |

| last time Steve and I were here there was no green - all looked very black and boron, prehistoric |

Amazingly beautiful photographs in your last three posts Susan. What a wonderful country we live in!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen. We certainly do live in an amazing country - and with Steve over the last six years I have been able to see so much of it. Lucky me.
DeleteThank goodness man invented photography so that you have the wondrous aides memoires, and we onlookers can appreciate your beautiful wide horizon landscapes. Thank you for providing us with so many lovely views.
ReplyDeletethanks for your company through this trip Olga - and your appreciation.
DeleteHello Susan. I just read your last three entries, what a wonderful, wondrous trip! The photographs are gorgeous in spite of all adversities. I laughted trying to imagine you moving from left to right on the plane fighting your seat belt and your head phones. You are a great photographer, you know. I wish I could paint some abstract watercolours based on your images.
ReplyDeleteHello Ersi. Lovely to hear from you and to be back here in blogland. Yes, some aspects of me trying to take photographs were quite amusing. The ones taken from the helicopter at sunrise ..... we had no doors on the helicopter but because I was flying with the rising sun, I had to hang out through the door at very strange angles to get photographs. It was freezing and I didn't think I could move my fingers enough to click the camera button - let alone focus. The images look fine small though slightly out of focus, but don't stand up to scrutiny! Going over to Spain no to visit you in your studio ...... x
DeleteWhat lovely images, and especially the rock textures. Thanks for the vicarious trip!
