    liked the clipped sounding words in this haiku - goes with the heat and the strong colours in the image...

    thank you for visiting pure haiku - I look forward to receiving some of your haiku - when you have time - no hurry! (I'm still trying to get my very short story finished for EoTE - the shorter the story that harder it seems to get it right!)

    much love

    What a startling statement - no footprints - very sobering. Your landscape is so vivid, have you ever considered stereo photography? No special gear needed, just shoot, move 6 inches and shoot again. Align with free software. Then make an animated GIF to display them on the web. (-- HaikuWater egret)

    Vast, beautiful, and unmistakeable. Your haiku describes the beauty of the outback so well.
