a group of wild horses bolt past us in the far off distance

two weeks doing an archaeological survey out on the fortescue marsh in the east pilbara, western australia provided some great scenic shots

the moon in the clouds

keep looking, you'll spot it eventually. this is a snap i took up in the pilbara w.a where i've been working for the past week excavating a cave.

22 mile

we found an old abandoned windmill and cattleyard today. maybe it's 22 miles from the cattle station homestead, not sure.

marsh survey

.

surveying out on the edge of the fortescue marsh today, that's the hamersley ranges in the background. so vast a space.

my valley home

.
i had to climb a hill yesterday, when i turned around i had a nice view of the camp i spend a hell of a lot of time in these days, that's it nestled in the valley.

rainbows

.
i've been searching for an analogy between rainbows and mining camps since i took this pic this morning, but i can't think of one. it's actually two rainbows if you look closely.

oasis

.
a waterhole we found yesterday and stopped to have lunch at, an oasis amongst a sea of spinifex, it was a welcome change. i never cease to be amazed by the stuff that the pilbara throws at me.
