Description ScapesRecent sad events have knocked my plans for further Features about the adventures in South Australia for six. But, I have managed to cobble together some landscapes, seascapes and cloudscapes to show you. I have limited this Feature to eight shots with some photographic observations.

Days are getting shorter,
Leaves falling from the trees,
Lots of rain falling on my head,
In short:
Autumn knocking at the door!
Still:

It was certainly very dramatic light, Sheri - lucky with the reflection in the salt lake as well.
