The Tree # 8

            This spot is in the Southern Flinders Ranges, just north of the delightful town of Burra, South Australia. 
It was mid-afternoon and a storm front was passing through with bands of rain, hailstones, and a gusting wind so strong that I found it impossible to stand in the one spot as I had to continually move about to avoid being blown off my feet.
I turned my 4W/D sideways to form both a wind break and shelter from the rain which soon eased, and this scene was captured through the open window of the driver’s door. 
As can be seen in this capture, the sky was a swirling mass of clouds of every description, all rushing headlong across the sky as they headed south.
It was absolutely freezing cold, and the forecast indicated that snow was possible. As far as I know, snow did not eventuate however, I soon headed for warmer surrounds at Broken Hill before returning a couple of days later.
