My family, my mother and my niece, they mean the world to me.

Just a simple day, walking around with them near the beach, i stopped to photograph some flowers while they went on, then i saw them playing in the grass and laughing,i thought "damn i dont wanna miss that" then starting shooting like a mad man haha, and the result? Maybe not the greatest photo of all time, but who cares, i got myself an ever lasting, beautiful memory.

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.

The Protestant Church of St John (German: Johanneskirche) in Stuttgart was built in the Gothic Revival style from 1864 to 1876 by its chief architect, Christian Friedrich von Leins. It lies on a peninsula of the Feuersee (Fire Lake), while the main entrance and tower marks the beginning of the former Johannesstraße (St. John's Street).

 

After being nearly destroyed in the Second World War, the main church building was reconstructed, but the Gothic vaults were replaced with modern ones and the tower was intentionally left incomplete to serve as a sort of war memorial. (Wikipedia)

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. :)

They are several roots of morning glory growing on one flowerbed from Spring to late Summer, I always pull the out after they bloom, they cover some ornamental shrubs like webs.

Dear Winter, please go away!

 

PS. Today here is only -3°C and blizzard sweeps. This snowstorm came to us from the United States :-)

 

Winter. Finland. Sunset.

Nach so viel Farbe jetzt wieder Monochrome:

eine kleine Serie mit Tiermotiven in 1:1 und Spiel mit unterschiedlichen Tönungen.

 

After so much color now again monochrome:

a small series with animal subjects in square format and experimenting with differents tint.

Un look para el frío intenso! Hacía mucho que no usaba este tapado sintético, y lo mejor es que cuando te lo ponés, sentís un poco de frío, pero a los 5 minutos, te empieza a calentar todo el cuerpo! Me gusta mucho la sensación del peso que tiene, y cómo te envuelve el cuerpo...

El vestido, drapeado y con la espalda buche, también se siente sensacional, y lo completé con una cartera Chanel 2.55 imitación...

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.
