My World no 24 – Back in La Pène

It is nice to get back to my favourite places



It feels like a long time

but it’s just the summer that has passed

It’s quiet as usual in the early morning hours

and strange roots

In the evening is the time to play.

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"

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:

My World no 19 – The Chicken at the Wirrabara Market

Every third Sunday in the month there is a Farmers  market in Wirrabara. We passed Wirrabara on our way to Seven Hills last Sunday, but now we want to buy the monthly supplies of bio-dynamic products from the Farmers around Wirrabara. A lot of pictures were taken, Whiskie chose a few and there were a  photo not taken, but c’est la vie. I’m fortunate, I saw it and it made my day.

Someone wanted to buy a chicken
This little one here
No way this little chicken wanted leaving with some strangers.
The Chuck was running as fast as she could
Last turn around

And then, the picture not taken. I had a fresh battery pack in my hand and saw a beautiful takeoff from the market place over the roof were the coffee was served and over to the main street in Wirrabara she disappeared.
I went out on the street looking for the adventures chicken, but she was not seen

Not by my little friend here, anyway.
After a while I was checking a certificate the farmer had hung up
Truly eggs laid by free range chickens as everyone could see
If the farmer didn’t bring her back home, she is probably still sitting there?
 P.S. At the next market we were told that the farmer went back the same evening and brought her back home.....

My World no 18 - Seven Hills

We are ready for a Sunday outing to Clare Valley for stocking up at The Seven Hill vineyard and to have lunch at the Stone Hut. Be prepared for some pictures. I’m taking pictures in the usual tempo down here, and from around 500 pictures I surprisingly got more usable than expected and some of those I want to share with you. Those not shown in this post you can find in the Picasa album.
Apart from the long stretches with this wide and flat landscape and the big sky, I’m always fascinated by the beauty of the trees and old majestic buildings or sad broken houses. I’ve made sure that the writings on the various signs is readable at least when you click on them to show more details.

The day starts out with an intensely blue sky and small brush strokes of clouds. We are crossing the Flinders Ranges through the Port Germein Gorge. That’s more scenic then driving down the highway to Port Wakefield. That stretch is now too familiar.
