On the western edge of the Simpson Desert,Old Andado Cattle Station is nestled between two rows of red sandhillls that disappear as far as the eye can see. / The station has many out buildings and historic interest. It now carries a heritage listing.It was restored by the station owner Molly Clarke who now lives in Alice Springs. Caretakers live on site and manage the desert camp ground for visitors
a tropical storm unloads whilst in stark contrast to the brooding violent clouds the sun illuminates the emerald coloured tropical water. more of my meteorological photography can be seen at / thunderstorms
The thunderstorm in this photograph was taken on the top-end wetlands late in the build up season…only weeks before this area was a dustbowl, yet weeks later it becomes a floodplain ! As the storm surged across the lush plains it dumped heavy rain and some shortlived reprieving cool winds. / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2007 bubblesite / photography blog / portfolio —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / / / see more of my weather related photography by clicking on the preview image below. / / / /
A thunderstorm rapidly maturing over the western top-end of Australia. It violently throws lightning bolts out the side of the updarught from 30,000ft high, landing them some 20km’s from the actual storm…The rumbles are clearly audible from amidst the silence of this ‘crocodile’ looking estaury and beach. / / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2007 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more of my weather related photography by clicking on the preview image below. / / / /
Here in the western top-end of Australia another pulse storm rockets up high in the atmosphere and unleashes a torrent of rain onto those lucky few beneath it …relief from the stifling heat and humidity associated with the late build up season…Don’t wait for it to come to you though….they are not called pulse storms for no reason…and just as quickly as it forms, it disapates…not even a drop at this location with its core within several km’s…This Magnetic termite field has no doubt scored well already this season with the plain a vibrant green glowing beneath a spectacular 30seconds of sunshine. / / – for those interested, a bit more about this photograph,my thinking and feelings about it. (taken from one of my own comments) / / This photograph like so many others of mine is born from a concept I have had for many years…for me it sums up the region beautifully and is what I’d class as iconic in some ways as I am always drawn and intrigued by the integral link between climate,topography and nature – it’s a marvellous symbiotic existance of all things being…. many trips through out these type of plains wishing or visualising, but the componants never aligning left me disatisfied with the results til now… / / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 bubblesite / photography blog / portfolio —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more of my weather related photography by clicking below / /
This series is of the car wrecks found littering the Desert around Alice Springs. Each car has it’s own Story, and resting place. / Looking more closely, they have their own personality reflecting the landscape where they lay in the twisted, torn, dented rusty abstracts of the panels.
