Impossibly Blue…

by on Aug.23, 2015, under Life, Photography

One thing you notice pretty quickly out here during the day is how impossibly blue the skies are.

With incredibly clear skies and not a cloud to be seen all 360 degrees of the horizon it’s amazing just how blue it is.

We stopped at Saddle Creek rest area for a morning tea stop. The cliffs here were very pretty with trees growing out of the sides. It was an opportunity to shoot more of these lovely Snow White stemmed ghost gums against the impossibility blue skies.

and a little side story…

We’d driven almost 1,000 kilometres from Darwin into the remote wilds of the Northern Territory and as you can imagine traffic signals are not something one expects to see out here in… well… nowhere. I mean we don’t even see intersections for days let alone red lights…

But here you go – even in the strangest of places…
