In desert Australia. This is the male in his mating colours. For much of the year their plumage is grey, but they wear their gorgeous colours to attract the girls! Have a safe week! All the best from Oz

From Svaneti in Georgia’s Upper Caucasus region, towards the Russian border. Have a fab Friday, and stay healthy and safe over this weekend and the week ahead.

Karlu Karlu is the indigenous name of this large area of ancient, weathered red rocks in the centre of Australia. They are a variety of forms, sizes, conformations. Some like this one, weather in a way as to split perfectly in half.

HFF from a tumbled down fence in the remote Australian outback. Our car and caravan are at the rear LHS to give some idea of scale. There is a fence, diagonally, mostly falling down! Have a fabulous weekend everyone, and sending you a great big hug from Australia

Lightning Ridge..the.black opal capital of Australia in outback NSW. The piles of white dirt are tailings, or diggings from the mining processes. Old church.

Far north South Australia, on the Stuart Highway. Have a super Friday and a safe weekend. Big hug from the nomads in Oz

This wonderful species of flower grows only in the driest and harshest part of inland Australia. This was in red sand in the middle of the desert, They are known as Sturt Desert Pea, and they defy attempts to grow them in suburban gardens! They are Swainsonia Formosa, botanically.

Hughenden, in northwest Queensland, Australia. Remote place. Hard to upload at present, still travelling and homeless. Big hugs and thoughts to all. Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend. Thinking of you all...sorry to not visit!

A short time online.....a quick iPhone pic from near where we are staying in Norton Summit South Australia. Off to drive 700 km tomorrow! Hope all of my Ip friends are well...big hugs to you all...sorry I am not about to visit you much. Life is upside down! ❤️

We sold our house last week. This tiny camper trailer is now home, for 6-8 months. We will build a house 1200 km from our old home, where our son and young grandchild live...in Canberra. We will stay sometimes with friends, and sometimes travel until our new home is built I will not always have internet, so forgive if I do not so much visit or comment. I wish all my friends a fabulous week! Hugs to all...

HFF from the Opera House in the jungle in Manaus, Brazil. External view Have a fabulous Friday and weekend weekend

Remote beach in North West Australia. Dampier Peninsula.

The Opera House in the Jungle, in Manaus, in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon jungle, was featured in the Herzog film Fitzcarraldo. Built in the developing rubber boom town of Manaus in the 1880’s, every component of it was created in Europe and shipped to Brazil, then a further1500 kilometres inland up the Amazon where it was built. It has been in constant use ever since, with Vogue magazine declaring it one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world. Nureyev and Fonteyn, Sarah Bernhardt, and nearly all the opera greats of the last 130 years have performed here. It is an amazing sight, the more so considering its location and history. I spent a couple of days, and nights in and about it....astonishing. 7 minutes ago. Edited 1 minute ago. Add | Edit | Delete | Permalink

Brazil. The Pantanal, the giant savanna, which spends some months each year under water is home to a dazzling variety of wildlife. The crab-eating fox primarily eats crabs and aquatic creatures during the wet. When the dry season arrives, its diet becomes one of insects and small prey. It is a delicate little animal.

Kandovan is a so-called trogolodyte village in Iran, built into weathered mountain caves. It is an ancient village, with houses deep inside the caves, well inhabited, and reliant on agriculture. Have a fab Friday, and may your weekend bring some rewarding and interesting experiences. Above all, be safe! Best wishes and thanks for your visit!
