The opposite side

It is easy to forget the “opposite side” of the sunset, but this evening I had to run inside the house to grab my camera because the light was extraordinary.

Tarzan, the Arabian colt

Hi, I'm Tarzan. I have grown up at the little Equesterie Tranquille in La Pène. Today I’m going to my new home at a little villge called Hounoux. Elizabeth says it’s ok and that I will live a life without shoes and bridle and with an owner that loves me. I hope  she’s right.

You might enjoy my very own show at the bottom of this post.

Natural Sequence farming - NSF

Had not heard of Natural Sequence farming at all, but I got the association to the Eden Foundation project in Niger when looking at a program on the ABC 1 “The Australian Story” telling about Peter Andrews.

Explore the Natural Sequence farming  and look at the video on You Tube.

In my post I’m supposed to throw in some pictures and not writing so much. Here are some pictures of weeds. If you feel like it after exploring Peter Andrews Natural Sequence farming  and Eden Foundation, the principles behind farming in Niger, give me the rules for pointing out what is weed and what is not. This little flowering plant here is growing wild in many beautiful varieties, but is considered a weed.

Sky Watch no 17

It’s Thursday again and the sky is intensely blue in Port Germein

Clouds are swiftly coming in over the sky in forms of light brush strokes when we are coming to Port Pirie ,

My World no 17 - Port Augusta

40 min north of Port Germein is Port Augusta.

Not a big town, but definitly an important one in this great area. Here is the main powerplant  in this area west of the Flinders Ranges.  A train with 3 locomotives, 170 wagons, and around 3 km long, is coming in daily from the cole fields in Leigh Creek for the energy production. In this area there is not one windmill in sight as there is in the area north of Port Wakefield.

Here is a peaceful view of the new and the old power plant in Port Augusta.

Just beside the Wharflands in Port Augusta the birds have their own little paradise.

Sneafell – A place on Isle of Man and an unique MC

Sneafell is obviously not just the highest “mountain” (in modern Norwegian language; Snefjell which in English would be snow mountain ) on the Isle of Man, it is also the name of a very unique MC with a sidecar designed and hand made by monsieur François Knorreck.

My World no 14 - recycling

It's a lot of recycling going on in Adelaide too, like in the rest of the world. This trailer here are pot full of drinking cans. Makes some kilos of aluminum.

 

Fra June - Port Germein

The Scouts Recycling Centre is quite busy all the time and the boys there have developed a good speed to the procedures of sorting out all the different stuff we are dragging in.

Skywatch no 14 on the way to Mundoora

 

It’s challenging to take photos in 100km/h and it’s fun. I wanted to present the ridge with the new windmills that we saw from Red Hill last week, but I liked these shots better.

(I didn’t do the driving)

It's a lot of things happening, so I'll just show you a group of Australian White Ibis taking of from a patch of "soak" land and the Railway station in Port Germein.

Here is The Ghan, that has just been in the media all over the world. This pictures are taken by my sister in law, Denise, in 2004. That was the very first time The Gahn could drive all the way up to Darwin from Adelaide and not just to Alice Springs. Of course there was a lot of people from town watching while the train was waiting on the side line at Port Germein station.

My world no 12 Two nights in a row and a day

To nights in a row and suddenly ahead of my usual humanly timescale. What will my views be like now? It's 13 years since last time. It certainly doesn't feel that long.

 
Hi, Mary Elizabeth! Sorry I didn't pop in, but I was in such a rush,
Fra Sydney

I got the sunrise in Sydney though! and then it was nearly takeoff again.

Fra Australia

There is IKEA!. Are they sitting next to every airport or am I back in Toulouse, Montpellier, Marseille or purhaps in Sweden :)

Fra Australia

No, it's the right place. Adelaide here I come, thirteen years since last time. And there are my brother and sister in law, so we can leave? No, no suitcase. No worries, it will come on the next flight from Sydney. See ya.

Fra Adelaide

Next stop, Royal Adelaide Hospital . We drove past the reckognition ceremony for the Aboriginals that also fought in the wars that Australia has been participating in. I think they are setting up for the ceremony since there where few people there and it was very early in the morning.

Fra Australia - Port Germein

Inside the hospital we passed this new dedication made for the people and the companies that has made contributions to this hospital. It was set up in an atrium made for a resting area. 

Fra Australia - Port Germein

This place moved me because the people at Royal Adelaide Hospital has given my brother back the mobility possibilities back in his left hand. And they have made an ubelieveably good work also. Now it’s down to the training, training, train,…………..They have given another hand back.

Fra Australia - Port Germein

Suddenly I was sitting there helping out stitching together a sheep skin mitten to keep the hand warm. And after several appointments thru the day we could finally head for Port Germein. What a journey it has been!
