Skywatch - 11. January 2013

 These days my thoughts goes to Australia with their people and wild life that are struck by all the fires.

I'll never forget my journeys down under.

This is from the route up to Wilpena Pound from Port Augusta

Reaching the Flinders Ranges National Park,
we slowed down the speed as you can see why.

One of the guided tours gave us the unforgetable moment of watching a little colony of the Yellow.footed Wallaby.
Forgive me if I didn't remember the full name, but please remind me.

And for beautiful views from all around the globe,
enjoy the visit to :

SkyWatch no 24 – En route

After 3 months in Port Germein it’s time to say good bye. When your family is living so far apart, you will always miss the ones you’re not with. So, I try to enjoy the moments. And there is a lot of them to put in the little treasure chest.
I’ve said it before, I’m grateful for the technological progress that gave us digital photos and Internet. So when not misused, I consider it a blessing. My treasure chest is filling up without being so heavy and I can flicker through the photos and dive into the memory of my many moments and I can share.

From Back to France

Windmills, Colsa and Salvation Jane.

The monster in Locheil

This morning the sun is playing with the salt in the lake and the sand to make a purple veil to put over the colours.

A blue tram in Adelaide sparked memories from my childhood in Oslo. The trams there was also blue and we always used the tram.
 
The weather is clearing up.
 
Was there a drawing on the runway?



Just beautiful



That was the last view of Australia

Not so long time at the airport in Bangkok, but


long enough to be board and

My World no 23 - THE FLYING WATER LILY OF WILPENA

Early our last morning at Wilpena Pound it was crispy clear air and a closer look will show you a little frost on the ground,

The weather the days we were at Wilpena Pound was just fantastic.
but it was still a couple of hours before our 1 hour flight.
ARIKA (water lily) is a young woman working at Wilpena Pound Tourist Resort as a pilot. Arika takes tourists on aerial flights from the resort around the pound and on to the surrounding areas. Arika conducts the flights with an informative history of the area and she is a most friendly person and well suited to giving the tourists a great scenic flight.



This must be the most famous view over Wilpena Pound so we also have our own

The north end of the Heysen Trail seen from Parachilna Gorge which means you have the Western Plains to the right. This track is one of the most famous ones in Australia.

Even people of age up here cannot remember seeing this area so green:

And to the left here the "Great wall of China"

This was my little contribution from my world to you this week, don’t miss out on the rest of the world here!

The Galahs at Kanyaka - again

I had such a great pleasure to observe and photograph these two Galahs from Kanyaka so I’ve made a little strip showing them together. They knew I was there, but they just didn’t care very much as I had no wings.

My World no 21 – Flinders Range, Wilpena Pound

We have been really busy for a while. Partly because of a trip to Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Range National Park. It takes time to digest such an event and I feel exhausted.

It was at times very busy on the road.

And the views makes words so small and unnecessary

This is only Whiskies first pics among some Gb in RAW format I carried home and she wants her paws on all of them.
I want to share this “little” one:
