A Word a Week Photography Challenge–Rust
~~~~~
My contribution for this week’s
Word of the Week Challenge…
Rust
~~~~~
Thinking of a rusty post I remembered this photo of…
a ferris wheel. A bit rusty for me to ride on.
Rusty red bricks, rusting metal all over fifty years old.
A rusty roof in the middle of a city, and…
another rusty roof in rural Victoria. Not an unusual sight.
These rusting rings are…
are set into rusty bricks and rusting surrounds.
Is this soldier pushing ammunition carts to…
this relic; part of the gun mount which fired the first shot of World war I.
These three may have been clean steel at one time,
however, they have taken on a rusty hue now.

Look Up, Look Down

Earlier in August, I travelled to Queenscliff, to catch the ferry.
While waiting I noted that the wind sock, though battered,
was indicating that the crossing would be fairly calm.
I lined up with other cars and vehicles…
foregoing an early morning coffee in favour of one on board.
Underway and looking back to Queenscliff, from the topside.
Glancing down and all I saw was churning water as the ferry
was propelled smoothly across Port Philip Bay.

My contribution for this week’s
Roads
Challenge

Some random road photos for this week,
which may or may not have been previously posted
This is near Balyang Sanctuary in Geelong.
I have posted quite a few shots of bird life at Balyang.
Travel to Warrnambool, on Victoria’s South West Coast and
you will find Pertobe Road lined with Norfolk Island Pines.
Again near Balyang Sanctuary.
A quiet country track in to a waterhole.

Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge-Wk-26

Odd Ball
Week 26
~~~~~
I think this suits the Odd Ball Challenge
Totally odd that we should even need to worry
about this little bloke growing into an old tusker…
however in all likelihood he will die at the hands of a poacher and not old age.
Have a read of this article, titled
A World without Elephants
on the Africa Geographic site
No idea why my images are not being displayed regularly

Floral Friday Challenge.

I took this photo in Hall’s Gap a few months ago.
It appears to be on the point of turning colour and
I’m sure those would have made a glorious display
a few weeks after this photo.

Travel Theme-Orange

My
Orange
Travel Theme.

For many years car makers in Australia have painted their cars,
white, silvers, tan as their brighter colours…
all colours of which I am not fond.
Last year General Motors Holden released an orange paint for their cars.
Of course it’s not just ‘Orange’, it is ‘Fantale Orange’
Personally I prefer a brighter coloured car…easier to see.
Now it’s a well-known fact that red cars go 5% fast than any other colour.
These are in the red range of the colour spectrum, so does that mean they go 2.5% faster?

Weekly Photo Challenge-Fray
~~~~~
My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Fray
~~~~~
As soon as I brushed the cobwebs out of my eyes this morning
I knew the direction of this post.
Yesterday Ginger’s new bedding arrived and
was inserted into her kennel.
During the clean out, this piece of smelly frayed carpet,
which I have looked for on many occasion, was discovered.
~~~~~
It wasn’t because I was in the dog house, that I searched for it,
we were seeking padding for furniture when kids moved out.
~~~~~
But I can assure you it smelled a lot better being extracted
from Ginger’s kennel than it did being extracted
from the rubbish bin this morning.
The second object for this challenge I am wearing right now.
My favourite green windcheater/sweat shirt.
We moved from the farm nine years ago and
my two green windcheaters
are constant, comfortable reminders of the ‘good old days’.
However, a few months ago I was feeling the cold and
held my constant companion up to the light
and I could see right through it.
(Focus on everything but the tear in the seam.)
About then I decided not to throw it out,
but to wear another one underneath…for warmth.
Summer is just around the corner 🙂
