Tradtional owner Lindsay Bookie and his family have allowed access to the wilderness Hay River over the last 2 year. He welcomes travellers to his camp at the far north edge of the Simpson Desert.(it’s about a half day drive from Jervios station coming from the top end off the Plenty Highway. / Along with bush tucker tours and talking around the camp fire he is a great host. / In this image Batton Hill and the spectacular white ghost gums of this area catch the last ray’s of red desert sunset. / Taken on Fuji S2 Pro
This is the smooth rich red sands of the Hay River located in the wilderness area of the North Simpson Desert. / Seasonal rains create flash floods, brining life to the desert… a ribbon of life that runs from NT near Jervios through the heart of the Simpson, on toward Poepell corner near the QAA line and French Line..These tracks at the south end of the desert are the normal desert crossing routes, taking people from Alice Springs to Birdsville. / They were originally established by likes of Fench Petrolem in the search for oil. A very rare scene experience only by a few travellers, and I would beleive not previously photographed this deep into the desert.
Fiery red sunrises have often been a feature and a great experience of camping at Batton Hill in the North Simpson Desert.The black silhoutted trees and messe form a strong contrast against the fiery red sky
“Rosh haNikra is a cliff at the sea, right at the northern border of Israel towards Lebanon. The name means “head of the cave”, and tells us why this place is listed on showcaves.com: there are numerous impressive sea caves at the foot of the cliff, which may be reached by cable car. The longest cave is 200m long. The cliff consits of white chalk, and looks similar to the cliffs of Dover. The caves were formed by the work of the sea water, following fracture zones in the rock which are weaker than undisturbed rocks. The cliffs were always a problem for travel and trade. The mountains ridge orms a natural border, and so very early a tunnel was hewn into the soft chalk. Alexander of Macedonea (Alexander the Great) is credited for having hewed the first tunnel in 323 BC to create a passageway for his army after besieging Tyre. Later this road was used by the armies of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. In 1099 AD it was used by the Crusaders. In World War I the British Army built the first road, which as accessible to motor vehicles. The latest and most impressive traffic route through the cliff was the Haifa-Beirut-Tripoli railway, which was built by the British during World War II. There were three tunnels, one on each side of the border and one crossing the border. The tunnel on the Israelian side may be visited. The railroad tracks are removed, but there is a sort of “tourist railroad”. The caves are numerous interconnected branches totaling 200m. Formed by the work of the sea they are located around sea level at the foot of the cliff, and the only way to enter their natural entrance is with diving gear and rather dangerous. In 1968 a 400m long tunnel was opened to allow access to the caves. ”..... Thanks for viewing and commenting. Copyrights (c) Nira Dabush

The Moose (Alces alces) is the world’s largest member of the deer family. The Alaska race (Alces alces gigas) is the largest of all the moose. Always remember, never come between a cow and her calf. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 28 October 2006 / Tv 1/125 Av 8.0 ISO 400 / Focal Length 55.0 mm Near North Pole Alaska I am certain she weighed at least 1000 pounds. Her twin calves were browsing with her, the female calf is just out of the frame nearby. See more of this beautiful animal in my collection: / Moose Dream Shadows It is amazing how graceful and quiet they are. / The Alaska race (Alces alces gigas) is the largest of all the moose, occurring in suitable habitat from the Stikine River in the Panhandle to the Colville River on the Arctic Slope. Most abundant in recently burned areas containing willow, fireweed and birch shrubs, on timberline plateaus, and along the major rivers of Southcentral and Interior Alaska. Their colour ranges from golden brown to almost black, depending upon the season and the age of the animal. Newborn calves weigh 28 to 35 lbs and within five months grow to over 300 lbs. Males in prime condition weigh from 1,200 to 1,600 lbs or more. Cows weigh 800 to 1,300 lbs or more. Only the bulls have antlers. Calves are born any time from mid- May to early June. Gestation is about 230 days. Cows give birth to twins 15 to 75 percent of the time, and triplets may occur. In winter, Moose consume large quantities of willow, birch, and aspen twigs. Deep crusted snow can lead to malnutrition and death of hundreds of Moose and decrease survival of the calves. Information source: Wikipedia

Paperbark Birch in Autumn Gold / North Pole Alaska North Star “Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips; maybe it was the voice of the rain crying, a cracked bell, or a torn heart. Something from far off it seemed / deep and secret to me, / hidden by the earth, / a shout muffled by huge autumns, / by the moist half-open darkness of the leaves. Wakening from the dreaming forest there, / the hazel-sprig sang under my tongue, / its drifting fragrance climbed up through my conscious mind as if suddenly the roots I had left behind cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood… and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent.” ~ Poetry by Pablo Neruda Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.

The Sound of the Sun / Embrace of the Everlasting “It makes one all right, / though you hadn’t thought of it, / A sound like the sound of the sky on fire, / like Armageddon, / Whistling and crackling, the explosions of sunlight booming / As the huge mass of gas rages into the emptiness around it. It isn’t a sound you are often aware of, / though the light speeds / To us in seconds, / each dawn leaping easily across a chasm / Of space that swallows the sound of that sphere, / but If you listen closely some morning, when the sun swells Over the horizon and the world is stil / and still asleep, / You might hear it, / a faint noise so far inside your mind / That it must come from somewhere, / from light rushing to darkness, / Energy burning towards entropy, / towards a peaceful solution, / Burning brilliantly, spontaneously, in the middle of nowhere, And you, too, must make a sound that is somewhat like it, Though that, of course, you have no way of hearing at all.” ~ The Sound of the Sun by George Bradley Sun Pillar / Sunset near Chena River Lakes Recreational Park / Wilderness of North Pole Alaska / From my collection: / Emerquinox Spirit of Alaska / Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox.
