View Full Version : May '16 Photo Comp - 'SAND'
Cuppa
3rd May 2016, 10:56 PM
May ’16 Photo Competition.
This month’s topic, chosen by our April Winner Boinzo, is Sand. He wrote "Let's stick with the theme. Instead of "rocks". Let's go for "Sand". There's so much of this great country that is covered in sand. And our patrols are great for getting us there!
So there you go .... finely ground rocks aka SAND
Good luck all.
Ps. Please read though the pink bit below if you haven’t done so yet. Ta.
Pps. It always helps to post a brief explanatory caption with your entry.
Regards
Cuppa

A mate did similar, collected sand samples from many deserts & then carefully poured each sample into a glass bottle creating multiple contrasting layers, each labelled. Quite a good conversation piece. Stored on a shelf out of the reach of children.

When I did the Madigan Line I took a box of Zip Lock bags and took samples along the way. I should have taken more. I maybe took 10 bags for the trip.
The Stark contrast of colours for just one trip across the Northern Simpson is quite extraordinary.
