Your choice
I'll get in first and grab the farthest one, as it has a backrest. :-) Wishing everyone a Happy Bench Monday and a good week to follow.
Bitumen's end
An image I omitted to post when I returned from this trip. Taken far in the outback of western Queensland, where the country is (mostly) very flat - and where most of the roads are unsealed.
Two tone ocean
Taken near the mouth of a river, a day or two after a substantial (about 100mm) rainfall event: such extremes are becoming more common with climate change The brown river run-off has a different density to the ocean water, so they do not mix readily..
Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend to follow.

Lunar New Year
This year, January 29 is the first day of the Lunar New Year, (on the Chinese zodiac) being the Year of the Snake . Read about the symbolism of it here. Happy Lunar New Year, everyone.
An archival photo from my former rural property, I think it's a White Lipped Snake (Drysdalia coronoides). These are venemous but timid by nature.

Once was
Seen in outback NSW. It would be fascinating to know the history of this derelict old building. Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone.

Watch workings
For Macro Mondays #398, 27 Jan 2025. The subject this week is "Clockwork." This view is of the internal workings of an old clockwork movement watch (very pre-digital!).
Border bench
Yes, Australia has borders - between the different States. This is the Northern Territory and South Australia border, where there is a bench (see note) and some much needed shade. As I write this, the temperature out there is over 40C. One from the archives. HBM and have a good week, everyone.

Repurposed fence
This section of timber fence is typical of many old style rural fences in Australia. I don't know its history, but it has been repurposed at this house as a garden decoration. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone.
Haven Mews
The end wall of a block of residential units in a beachside area, not built in the current "high rise box"style. HWW, everyone.
