'Good Show',Mary!
That's a fine looking scenic photograph,my friend!
That looks a bit ( quite a bit,actually! ) like the great southwestern desert in my country where I spent a good deal of my time in the Military several decades ago!

Lovely landscape of the salt bush environment of the Arid Lands Botanic Gardens with the famous Flinders Rangers in the background. (I have fond memories of holidaying in the Flinders as a child and a teenager).
Your nature image has great natural colour of this red earth land and green bushes. I really like the blue mountains outlined on the horizon and lovely clouds. Well composed Mary and thanks for sharing!

A very nice shot. The salt bush scrub in the foreground is very well defined and shown in excellent colors. I like this composition with the mountains and clouds staying well back in the background.

A very good looking landscape photo posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a good view of your strange looking location. For an arid land it seems to be supporting a multitude of trees and shrubs? Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

    Thanks Nik most is low saltbush and some very drought tolerant shrubs. They receive around 245mm 9" rainfall annually compared to Adelaide 536mm 21" have been in drought for a few years but we seem to be getting good winter rains this year.

wow..the terrain is kinda like the american southwest.cool. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this terrain, mountainous skyline and cloudy skyview is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Nice view from the look out, it's so quiet and peaceful.
I can see that it's very dry land. I like the ranges in the background in the blue tones to show their distance. Nice cloud detail in the blue sky.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

A beautiful picture looking over the arid lands with the Salt brush Scrub growing in the poor soil. With the Flinders Ranges seen behind a blue haze in the far distance, under low flying clouds with the sun shining down through the gaps. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
