G'day all

In central South Australia just north of Coober Pedy, these dramatic upthrusts remain from the days of the great inland sea, est'd at 10~15,000 years ago

1)- one of many mesa-like protrusions standing proud from the surrounding countryside

Ozzie these are beautifully done. What great balance in your compositions! wonderful use of shape and lines in them. The difference in color in the second is amazing, I've never seen anything like that. And what an incredible blue sky with the way you framed the clouds.

You live on a beautiful continent.

Hi Sharon & Dave

Thanks for your thoughts - and 'yes' this is a wonderful country where one can travel from coast to coast safely (no guns=no lawless shooters) and see many wonderful sights. Insofar as the above 2 images go the CPL made quite a difference to both sky and earth colours
