After spending 12 days on the road to and from Lajamanu in the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory I walked along Dep's Beach on the morning after my return to Victor Harbor. This is in the early morning light:
I was seeing differently. I would normally walk past these rocks in the sand
This picture was made on the morning before the return of the wild, stormy weather:
I had walked past this spot many times on our poodlewalks but I'd never really stopped to photograph it. This time I stopped.
The wild storms and rain have passed. I have returned to exploring the literal zone. The sky is clear in the morning, and there is early morning light on the coastal rocks:
The light now is very different from that before the storms that battered South Australia.
This pile of stones at the base of the cliffs just west of Petrel Cove had been collected by children during the school holidays:
There is a rough path or track along a cutting that runs down from the top of the cliffs to the rocky foreshore below and the stones are neatly stacked against some granite rocks.
This picture was made whilst I was on an afternoon poodle walk around the granite outcrop between Basham's Beach and Port Elliot on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula with Ari and Maleko. I'd been to see the director of the South Coast Regional Art Gallery at Goolwa about the Mallee Routes project and I decided to walk around the granite outcrop.
