This is my 4th time to this spot, just love coming here, and everytime we do it is a totally different experience. Today was not as nice as there was what felt like a 40knot wind blowing across the dry lake
First time was back in 2009 after doing a shoot at Arkaba Station, then again in 2010 showing it to Jacqui for the first time, and then again last Easter holidays with the kids
funny thing is, when you say to any Adelaidians you meet that you are planning to go to Lake Bumbunga again, they all are like, " ? … where "
Norton before his hat got blown off and Micke nearly ran the full lenght of the lake chasing it, strange how there is no sign of it in the photo, but it was sooo windy
I prefer it here when there are all those fluffy white clouds in the sky, they're all blown away today 🙂
Having gotton so many great landscape shots before, I focus instead on shapes
form
and details
and now for some with the macro lens
as there are som many shapes and details to bewonder up close
what amazes me is the shape, even though it is so windy, you would expect the salt to be rounded and smooth from wind erosion
but no
look closely, I'll zoom in
the salt crystallises into perfect rectangle shapes, amazing
heading back to the car and try the other side, see Lochie and if it is not as windy there, as it is not much fun for the swedes with this howling biting wind
There's Lochie ( although she was not intact and I had to fix her head back upright )
Nasty spikey thistle but amazing colour. And yep, was just as windy on this side, I wanted to walk out a little but got distracted stumbling upon an old dump site and found about a dozen old glass bottles, some from the 40's and some older, sadly loads of broken glass from what would have been some awesome old bottles. And then it was time to go as Jacqui & co were not enjoying standing in the cold as I went bottle fossciking 🙂
