It's Raining Dinosaurs

Just a little heavier than cats and dogs.

Sauropods In Rain

A pair of sauropods getting caught in the rain. I wonder if they drink Pina Coladas?

Moon Rise

A near Full Moon rises behind a veil of high, thin cloud from the approaching cyclone Kirrily.

Gidgee Tree

A Gidgee tree frames the building. Gidgee trees are also known as stinky wattle, have a strong odour when in flower. They are a very hard timber due to their slow growth rates.

Red Window

A view of the Gondwana Stars Observatory and cloudy sky through the red window of the March of the Titanosaurs building.

Clouded

A beautiful clouded sky with many layers, like an onion.

Morning Walk

A morning walk to get some exercise and enjoy the cool morning air before the heat of the day.

Winton Painted Sky

An atmospheric filter painted sky cloud above Winton. (Sky cloud as opposed to dust or other forms of cloud.)

Saturn

Saturn captured in the thick atmosphere of Earth as it falls nearer to the horizon. The cloud bands are not crisp and the Cassini division is not visible due to the turbulence added by our atmosphere, however, it's still Saturn. Always beautiful.

Morning Sky

A morning walk brings many things into view. In this acase a cloudy sky frames a beautiful tree.

Rainbows On Raindrops

Rainbows on raindrops and cooling summer showers. These are a few of my favourite things.

Rain Approaches

A rain squall approaches the Jump-Up on a steamy evening.

Sunsets

A sunset over the Gondwana Stars Observatory with filtered sunset light scattering from distant rain clouds.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. The first sunset of 2024.
