OUR WORLD - Angaston in the Barossa Valley


I dug into my archives again (not quite conversant with my
shiny new Canon while my trusty Nikon is languishing in
hospital), to share some photos I took for a MyWorld post.
So, in memory of Klaus, whose brainchild the meme was, I
post them now for the sequel.

Angaston is one of the old towns in the Barossa Valley wine
region. We go there on Saturday mornings to the farmers'
market but this time we just went for a walk and lunch.
Most of you will know that I have a great love of oaks so,
what better place to park, than under this magnificent
golden canopy?


Sometimes I like to explore what lies behind the facade of the
main street. We took a little path along the creek just off the
main drag to discover this storm-felled giant resting on the
grassy bank.


An old shed I have had a soft spot for for a long time


and chimneys reflected in the gold strewn creek.


The Angaston Hotel where we lunched,


sun shining through these forerunners of modern gladioli


and back to the golden drapery of one of my favourite oaks
to retrieve our car.



The end of a pleasant walk, that I hope you have enjoyed as
much as we did.

Share what you love or even dislike about your world to give
everyone a broader picture.

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ On a Country Walk


I could not wait until dusk for my morning constitutional,
so off i trundled after lunch, Up the road that splits our farm
to the top of the hill and through the magic living gate that
almost marks the end or the beginning of our place.


As I passed the shadows a friendly ant of the Myrmacia family
crossed my path


to disappear into the depths of the shadows cast by our sentinels.



All photos enlarge at a touch.
