photos of the weekend #32 / steps and views…
Our Aussie guests left last night.
Now our home is empty and quiet…
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel
until he comes home
and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

When overseas you learn more about your own country,
than you do the place you’re visiting.

Nice cloud shots. Love the staircase leading into the sky.
You said that this shows up, so I’m going to write and not fret that it isn’t going through! Fun shots this week. I like the steps – I photographed some this week myself.
Beautiful pictures of your world and I love all the travel quotes!

Some beautiful skies in these photos! I bet that handrail in the one near the top gets mighty hot in the sun!
So intense is the beauty of the countryside images you’ve shared. And your quotation couldn’t be better!!!
Hidden Shadows Come on over if you have time today!!
what bright sunny skies. i love them.
Nice photos. We don’t often get to photograph nature without cars, without people etc. Very nice job.
The stairs are wonderful. The perspective of the shots, the images in black and white, simple but beautiful.
Glad you had such a wonderful time with your visitors. I hope you are planning another visit back to Australia some time soon.
Nice photos, especially I like the first and fourth.
Regards!
As always, I enjoy the series you present to us! Particularly the first set of stairs.
