Devil’s Marbles

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

A very tough beauty

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.

Home for a few months
|
|
|
|
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. Teatro Amazonas. Manaus, Brazil

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.

Crab-eating fox
|
|
|
|
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!

Iftar market
|
|
|
|
Sandakan, Borneo. During the month of Ramadan, around 5pm, the Iftar street markets come to life making and selling prodigious amounts of food for sale to eat to break the fast at sundown. They are the busiest, foodiest markets I have ever seen anywhere, and the sights, sounds and smells are intoxicating. The food is amazing and delicious too....very lucky for a traveller!
