“Landscape” view/ much closer view (#8B in series: not Martian, but…)

 

Magnificently stark as Lake Eyre generally is, its banks and surrounding terrain are a deal more vegetated – and the vegetation is more diverse – than most newcomers expect.

Some of the plants are wonderfully weird; necessarily, all are hardy, and adapted to one of the world’s more “demanding” environments.

If anyone out there knows exactly what the pictured example is, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

The next pair of images were taken in a very different, urban place – one that some call “Betty’s Jetty”.
