Bellata is a small village of 529 people, it's an agriculture area. We didn't venture into the village, just kept going.
As you can see the ground is very dry and certainly not a great deal of colour.
We stopped for to have a walk in the area above, it's off to the side of the road, a 'rest area'.
So desolate looking and could use some much needed rain.
ReplyDeleteHoping they received plenty of rain during their rainy season.
DeleteA very dry landscape... but there is a certain beauty... I don't believe the locals think that. They must be anxious for rain.
ReplyDeleteThey would be looking for rain and hopefully it did so during the summer in their rainy season.
DeleteLe hace bastante falta el agua, para que brote la vida.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Certainly did need water when we drove through last year, hopefully it's not as bad this year.
DeleteIt looks so isolated, yet scenic.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed a long way from nowhere when we travelled that road John.
DeleteBeautiful photos, it's like a desert, sort of.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed. Floods there also if they get enough rain, so flat for miles or kms that you can see mirages sometimes in the distance.
DeleteSo very dry, so very flat.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that small townships like that one struggle in our prolonged droughts. Badly.
Yes it's all those small towns and larger ones that struggle in drought, we don't always here about those people, we usually hear about the bigger land owners. It's rather sad.
Deletewow flat and so dry
ReplyDeleteYou are correct on that Gosia.
DeleteWhenever I am in an area with small settlements I try to spend a little money, but you can't do it everywhere that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteNo you can't do it everywhere. When we stay in a town we spend money, food mainly and if their is a shop when travelling at lunch time we will often buy our lunch for a change.. it all helps little towns.
DeleteI am sure you have to stretch your legs at times, but it looks a pretty dull and drab place to stop.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do have to stretch our legs and yes it wasn't the best stop but not many along that particular highway either. So many roads inland don't have anywhere to stop, so if you see a place in time you pull over.
DeleteScenic in a desolate kind of way
ReplyDeleteTrue Jo-Anne.
DeleteUntil your post...this post...I've never heard of Bellata.
ReplyDeleteEven in the dryness caused by drought there is beauty.
So many places we go through that we don't know the name of too - tiny towns with just a church and hall plus a house or two.
DeleteAlways beauty in everything if we look for it Lee.
Great photos, and they remind me of our trips away and stopping in the rest areas. I am getting itchy feet now!
ReplyDeletelol.
DeleteWe all get itchy feet and want to travel Rosie, well most of us do.
Toda una belleza de imagenes, amiga
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in it's own way.
DeleteI somehow expect Hugh Jackman or Michael Pate (An Australian actor who often played Indians in Westerns in the 50's and 60's) to come riding across the landscape...
ReplyDeleteWell you never know Hugh could come riding through that way one day :) I remember Michael Pate.
DeleteI think it would be tough to live there.
ReplyDeleteFor me too.
DeleteEn verano por aquí también es bastante seco. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteDry weather happens anywhere, but these people have been in a drought for several years, it's a wonder anything grows Teresa :)
