My World no 18 - Seven Hills

We are ready for a Sunday outing to Clare Valley for stocking up at The Seven Hill vinery and to have lunch at the Stone Hut. Be prepared for some pictures. I’m taking pictures in the usual tempo down here, and from around 500 pictures I surprisingly got more usable than expected and some of those I want to share with you. Those not shown in this post you can find in the Picasa album.

Apart from the long streches with this wide and flat landscape and the hugh sky, I’m always facinated by the beauty of the trees and old majestic buildings or sad broken houses. I’ve made sure that the writings on the various signs is readable at least when you click on them to show more details.

 

The day starts out with an intensily blue sky and small brush strokes of clouds. We are crossing the Flinders Ranges thru the Port Germein Gorge. That’s more scenic then driving down the highway to Port Wakefield. That stretch is now too familiar.

Way up in the gorge there was this little place where we stopped,

When we came back to Port Germein I saw the birds setting up the melody for tomorrow.
