I visited Umpherston Sink-hole, Mount Gambier SA, today, and was blown away by how spectacular it was, from top to bottom. Here’s the view of above-the-top from the bottom.

Beach, Rocks, Sky: a bird like a kite
Thistle, Rock, Sky: a back road vignette
Getting a reasonably focussed shot of this thistle flower was a challenge, as it swayed thornily in the breeze!
Circling The Sun: what’s to come?
I took this sky photo during my lunch break after noticing interesting cloud formations and a halo around the sun. They weren’t this dramatic, so knew it was time to try my camera’s dramatic tone setting, and was pleased with the result.
Fujifilm X10, f7.1 @ 1/909s. Border applied in Snapseed app.
Trawalla Railway Station: straight down the line
The combination of sunlight and dark clouds was just marvellous!

Thar She Blows! the windmill turns again
I’m guilty of rarely using my camera off auto (or automated settings – I use Program Auto and the Grainy Black & White Art Mode most), but I wanted to try to capture the motion of the spinning windmill. This was handheld, shot on shutter priority at f/22 1/40s.

Taking a road south from Nhill, we’d stopped to look at a quirky roadside mailbox; while waiting at the wheel, I pointed my camera back towards the sun and a range of low hills to the west.
