SkyWatch - A bit of weather coming in . . .


Heading towards Port Augusta we had just a little weather 
coming up
so I did just a little drive-by shooting


looking towards the Flinders Ranges


and the other way towards Spencer Gulf


they looked just a little bit threatening
and when they closed up
we were in for a downpour and had to crawl until 
we had passed through the storm
not exactly ideal
as we were nearing our stop for the night and it had been 
a looong day sitting in the car

since I'm still here, we did get there safely.

SkyWatch ~ 29 Whyalla Sunrise

Dawn in Whyalla on Spencer Gulf South Australia



We got into Whyalla, a major port for the steel works,
well after dark. It felt like a town deserted, there were
hardly any street lights and not a soul in sight.
After a search and destroy mission we finally located
the Motel on the waterfront we had stayed at before.
The price had naturally doubled since last time, but
the nice young man adjusted it since no one else
could be expected at that hour.
Too late for dinner...luckily I'm a good quatermaster
general and we dropped gratefully into the perfect
Q'sized bed. While the exhausted Prof. slept, I snuck
out next morning pre dawn..."those that go down to the
sea..." can enjoy a dawn creeping up over the water...
see above...all can be enlarged.



Some wading friends kept me company as I took my
morning constitutional



meanwhile, the sky draped itselt with these
wonderful clouds, no trumpets, no massed choirs of
angels as the sun rose, just this vast expanse of clouds



resolving themselves into a gentle light of dawning
day. Nothing spectacular, but satisfying none the less.
