Renmark, SA Sunset.

Renmark sunset in South Australia.  I recently did a post with a sunset in Renmark SA and this is another one totally different.  It never ceases to amaze me how clouds make such a dramatic difference especially in this case.  These set of photos were taken in a different year but all the same evening.

You can refresh your memory what the sunset looked like [ here ] in the other post.

Renmark Sunset, South Australia.

Renmark South Australia is 1,220 km from home here in Launceston and of course taking the Ferry across the sea is necessary if you take your car or car and caravan as we did some years ago.  There are many places to stay, Hotel, Motel or a Caravan Park where we stayed, with the River Murray at our door.  

These photos were taken of the River Murray on one of our visits there looking towards one of the Hotels.  There are about 4,700 residents in the town and 10,274 people in the wider population. The photos are in order as taken. 

There are paddle steamers on the River Murray so a nice cruise can be taken.

Also grown in the area are citrus fruit, wine grapes, almonds, figs, cumquats, olives, persimmons, avocados, walnuts, pistachios and bush produce. 

Winter has finally arrived here in Launceston, Tasmania.

Sunset out the back door!

 Sitting doing comments on my blog list and looked out the window to see this ever so orange/red sunset about 8.30pm remembering our days are becoming shorter as we head into late summer, grabbed my Canon Camera and headed to the back door.  The photos are the result, and I moved further into the yard and captured a rainbow included in the sunset over the next door house to the east. 

Above, looked south west. Below, looking east.

Below, looking north west. Sorry about the hydro wires but that is how it is.

A sunset at Wynard

 Wynard is on the northwest coast of Tasmania, it's lovely little town and the hill is called Table Cape. Wynard has a tulip festival in the springtime.  Wynard has a sea view and many times we stayed in the caravan park there for a few days or more at a time.  This time I captured a calm sunset.

It's been cherry time here and we've been to the cherry orchard several times, these cherries are called Van.

Sunset at Geraldton, Western Australia

 There is something wonderful for me to see the sun go down behind the sea.  We see it here on our West Coast and the West Coast of Australia which is a long coastline.  The photos are taken on the beach near Geraldton in Western Australia on one of our visits there.

To Mt Barrow

It's a long time since I have shown photos of Mt. Barrow not far from where we live.  It's about a 40 minute drive and 1413 meters above sea level.  Snow falls once in awhile in Winter but is usually gone the next day. TV towers are up there plus various other towers. 

Late last year we headed to the mountain for just a drive, we were late going up and thought someone might lock the gate as it was getting towards 5pm at that time of ascending the small mountain. 

Sunset was approaching on the way down so we kept our fingers crossed we could descend without being locked up the mountain.  All was good.

There are quite a few photos so it might take two more posts to show you the scenery up there and on the way down.

If you click on the Location text at the end of this post it will take you to the map of Mt. Barrow.

Down by the sea at sunset

A sunset down by the sea at Wynyard on the north west coast of Tasmania, Australia.  The sea is Bass Strait.

Sunset

Didn't get many sunset photos due to the weather, most nights it was very cloudy at Huonville.

Sunset

We've stayed many times in our caravan at Wynyard on the North West Coast of Tasmania, Australia.  Now the caravan park is closed due to the owners being elderly and not well.  Yes, we will have to find somewhere else to stay in that area as the town is a sweet one and has all those things one needs in a town.

Here are few photos which I've never shown before - a Sunset looking one way, then the other way along with a straight view ahead of the beach a few steps from the caravan park and Bass Strait, the sea.

A few things

This sunset was at Wynyard on the north west coast of Tasmania, Australia.  The fourth photo was taken in the caravan park in Wynard, you can just see part of the concrete slab where we were parked.  The sea can be seen so it's only a few steps to the beach.  Don't always get to take sunset photos because I'm usually cooking dinner or talking to someone. 

The rose is from the garden back in summer at home here, and the children are two of the grandchildren, the eldest one and the next one in age, both now teenagers.  The photos were taken here at home, the latter in the city park in our City of Launceston, Tasmania in 2016.

Sunset, Huonville

A sunset is always pleasant more so on a warm evening.  We were sitting outside watching and taking in the scenery, so snapped these shots at the caravan park.
