Evening setting SilverFast 3200dpi Standard or landscape was BLUE!
It is getting to be an effort to remove dust..
It often only becomes visible in the scanned image!

Rain has been absent from much of the Sierra Nevada since May. The storm for this weekend was predicted for today, Friday, through Sunday, but now just a 60% for Sunday. Good, I get to spend a lot of Saturday raking. 🍂🍁.
The weather predictions for thoroughfares between Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and Reno this last week included strong winds with fire hazard, followed by up to a foot of snow at pass level.
The typical photo facing the sun that can never succeed either than by chance, lol.

Notice large pendant cones at branch ends. Taken at Dodge Ridge, Stanislaus National Forest, Tuolumne County, California.
The first of two big storms started here at mid-day. The foreground is in sun, but there are very dark clouds to the west and a strong wind is coming from the east.
26 January update: underwhelming precip for western Tuolumne County so far this winter. The clouds in this photo are over the New Melones Reservoir and the next county to the north.
I made us stop on the way home from Goulburn to at least try for one photo before the sun set…
It is always an effort to find a spot on a Highway to safely pullover, reverse or get out and walk back, check the light and see if there really was a shot waiting there…
On many of our trips, I shoot as we pass by, like a rural scene or a nice gate. One day I captured a passing police car…
I just point n shoot and perhaps pan a bit using a fast shutter..
When wandering, like a few months on Cape York in 2001, see FNQ 2001 and #FlickrSpelio on YouTube… we took our time and shot everything I saw…
The photo in the most CSSS Groups!
Just noticed two more invites to CSSS Groups 09-12-23
Not sure when my employment with the #gswanullarbor ended..
This was near the end of our lovely Xmas #roundAustraliawithSpelio trip...
This slide was accidentally scanned at a higher resolution so hit the Z key a couple of times on a large monitor or just the L key for a full-sized image. All the scans are good for a zoom-in..
Too large a file to edit here and give it more Gamma, but it was a dull day. Typical Nullarbor.. #seeonscreenNOTES
AI Overview

This image shows a vintage Volkswagen Beetle parked in a dry, outback landscape, likely in Australia, with a person attending to a campsite.
The scene depicts a form of car camping or a road trip, with a tent and laundry hanging on a line in the background.
The car's hood is open, suggesting a possible repair or maintenance check.
The vehicle is a classic Volkswagen Beetle, a model that has been popular in Australia for decades.
The landscape, with its sparse vegetation and arid ground, is characteristic of the Australian outback, potentially in a region like Corner Country.
Sunset here today was at 5:44 p.m. PST. Looking forward to Spring Forward to Daylight Savings Time on 14 March. ;-)
There were a lot of speeding 4WDs heading in the opposite direction, dashing off to do the Simpson in a weekend!

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.
from Erwin on FaceBook..
There are 10 officially recognized deserts in Australia.
The names, from west to east are:
1. Little Sandy Desert,
2. Great Sandy Desert,
3. Gibson Desert,
4. Tanami Desert,
5. Great Victoria Desert,
6. Pedirka Desert,
7. Simpson Desert,
8. Tiraria Desert,
9. Sturt Desert,
10. Strzelecki Desert.
The Tanami Desert has some beautiful vegetation after rains.
Our sky was filled with these beautiful cumulus clouds with heavy wind and no rain. I know there's a lot to this series but as a science geek and lover of weather I couldn't decide on just one, I wanted to share all of its beauty with you

The town of Seventeen Seventy is so named because on 24 May in that year, Lieutenant James Cook, captain of His Majesty's barque HMS Endeavour, came ashore and landed on the beach of Round Hill Creek in the vicinity of the present village.[1]
In the morning of Thursday May 1770, the Lieutenant in his pinnace (with Mr Joseph Banks and Dr Daniel Solander) and Second Lieutenant John Gore in the yawl left the ship for the shore and made their first landing in what is now Queensland and their second landing in Australia. Cook made eleven landings on the eastern seaboard and ten of these were in Queensland. Cook's landing spot at Bustard Bay was in the vicinity of the present caravan park (developed in 1978), where a stream at the southern end enters the beach just north of the remaining mangroves.[1]
Cook described the countryside as "visibly worse" than at Botany Bay, with dry and sandy soils, woods free of undergrowth, the same sort of numerous "birch" tree (coastal ironbark), mangroves skirting the lagoon and palm trees on low, barren, sandy places. He also noted bustards, black and white ducks, small oysters and other shell fish - mussels, pearl oysters and cockles.[1]
Botanist Joseph Banks, who accompanied Cook on his "little excursion into the woods", noted the great variety of plants even though the plant cover was not thick. He recognised plants already seen in the Tropics, and described many birds on shore including one species of Bustard. Some of the 55 specimens collected in the general area were illustrated and described in Banks' Florilegium, which was printed from copperplates under Banks' direction from Parkinson's unfinished sketches. (Parkinson died of dysentery on the voyage home.) As the woods behind Round Hill Head and adjacent to Round Hill Creek are the locality of the first botanical type-specimens collected in Queensland, they are of great scientific value. This was recognised in 1989 with the gazettal of Joseph Banks Environmental Park

The day started with snow low in the foothills of Tuolumne County, California. Very dark clouds in the afternoon. Clearing skies just before sunset.
