Canon 5d2+ef50mm f3,2 iso1250 6s - 2 shots pano

Flickr Worldwide Photowalks.

Last weekend (July 9 and 10 of 2016) thousands of dedicated Flickr photographers all over the globe hit the streets of their communities.

Here we are in Brisbane, enjoying winter in the beautiful Roma Street Parkland.

The subject was "Macro Textures" . But it did not really matter...

(The shot is actually taken by 50mm macro lens ;)

 

Guess who is missing on the shot, and spot the bird ;)

See more photos of the walk in my stream.

 

The photo is featured in the Flickr blog - Worldwide-flickr-photowalks

On the Atlantic Ocean in Grande-Rivière.

This was shot in the Sero Colorado area of Aruba near Baby Beach.

One of our better campsites on the way up from Oodnadatta to Finke and Mt Dare where we again caught up with Kim and Venita who had made a detour to Coober Pedy for communications problems!!!

 

We continued on to Old Andado HS for a very enjoyable roast dinner.. and later returned here on our way south..

 

The Flickr map even shows it!

ALOFBRID we are now safely home after 31 days on the road and 7,000km later.

 

We had some great experiences, but failed to achieve the aim of the trip, which was to cross the Simpson Desert around the Rig Road.

 

This is the second time we have organised this trip and failed, the first time from an injury, this time because of the wettest season across Australia for years it seems.

 

Floods down the coast, knives from kitchens washed up on Sydney beaches after the dunes and beaches were eroded, and muddy floodways, puddles and ruts and Grey Nomads everywhere wherever we went!

 

Our travelling companions refused to go home without attempting it, so we left them in Mt Dare with the risk of 25mm rains across the desert and us being stranded 1000km from our trailer and gear in Marree.

 

Kim and Venita took their all-wheel drive VW Transporter across the French Line. Not an enjoyable trip. Too much traffic, too many big corrugations created by people towing trailers across, and many motor bikes and Quad bikes heading to the end of the Finke Race!

 

We had a pleasant drive south, but racing the rain, back to our trailer and continued up to Birdsville! Where we ran into K and V again as they came from Big Red!

 

We tuned in on the radio to Australia All Over and heard Macca hear, clear as a bell.

On the Lindsay Creek, which flows down into the Stevenson Creek, but peters out into the sand dunes near Mt Sarah homestead, all in the Eyre Basin, but it never reaches Lake Eyre! Neither does the mighty old Finke River

Robyn was participating in an Australian Desert Expeditions Archaeological Expedition along Eyre Creek in the eastern Simpson Desert, Queensland.

 

The Australian desert: historically a place of heartbreak or of God. Explorers vanished into it. Pioneers met bitter ends there. Wives killed themselves for loneliness. Nowadays convoys of Toyota tourists charge across it, enjoying its beauty and breadth, but in an ambiguous way, as if there were something in it to conquer. Something dangerous to be put down.

Le vin d'Ayse est un mousseux excellent très apprécié des gens du pays, même s'il n'est pas très connu au niveau national.

The vines of Ayse

 

The Ayse wine is an excellent sparkling wine, very popular within local people, even if it is not well known nationally.

After all the show lights are off there's still enough of it. At night also the fog creeps in...

Can you feel or see the sun rising? :)

1950 Buick Super convertible car in Havana photographed on the last day of my holiday in Cuba. It was a hot sunny day and ideal for tourists taking a tour of Old Havana in these old american convertible cars.

  

I have loved his rough look from the day I met him. His name suits his looks - and if he wore clothes, it had to be denim...

Many thanks to David for suggesting the music, which of course must be ZZ Top's Rough boy. :)

Wishing all my friends on Flickr a very beautiful 2016! I'd like to celebrate the arrival of the new year with all of you.

A typical Danish Christmas Eve in my childhood home. Father has lit the candles, the doors have been opened and the family let in for the traditional dancing and singing around the Christmas tree.

Left to right: Myself disguised as "Yule man", sister Lene, neighbour and occasional nanny Marie, uncle Richard, eldest brother Elon and our father Frode. The picture was shot by brother Leon - and our mother Lily had probably found an excuse for not being on the photo... ;)
