House Elf Adventures

House Elf Adventures Retired. Bad at being a House Elf. Keep escaping. Every photo is a 'perspective' puzzle. My photo ALBUMs are the result, sometimes a reel. Take your time.

I play detective with Old Central Australian photos, to find the EXACT camera location and post about my adventures. Not retirement - Life Upgrade! Time rich, cash poor, Grinning. I have a rainbow of activities that give my life balance and joy. It starts with Red - Excitement and adventure. Once a week I try to get outside and take the road less travelled, stop and take photos whenever I want. Ce

ntral Australia is so beautiful, I love it here, and when I come home and tweak and crop the photos so that they show the country how I experience it, I just want to share it. If it brings me joy, why not delight others? Please invite your friends and people from overseas, you really should visit Central Australia. Cities are sortof the same all over the world. Please go to Photos - Albums and experience each adventure with me. Breathe it in. You are unlikely to see these views on any tour. These are spots the locals might know. Maybe from when they were kids, and still went places with open eyes.

After looking at the other 'Miss Pink' photoshoot, I reviewed Album 87 and found its 4 photos a bit sad, so I updated it with some extra stuff to give it the full treatment.

I generally focus on presenting the Now/Then and historical / factual aspects because from that perspective, scenic photos and videos are just fluff.

But do appreciate that I can bring people along on my adventures, by sharing some of the tons of other pictures I take.
I am not a great photographer, but I guess many are from places people will never go, and Mount Gillen is now Illegal to climb, so ther's that...

Thinking about all the times I went out with a photo and a hunch and an endless question “how would those hills look when I go further this way?”

Finally finished this project. It has involved many outings chasing Miss Pink. Miss Pink was a feisty contrary woman who set tongues wagging the moment she got off the first train to town in 1930 Fiercely independent and contemptuous of bad mannered people, she rode camels and camped with the natives as she sought to carry out her work as an anthropologist. She stayed in Alice for most of her life after that, and ticked all the boxes for being the town's archetypal witch, and many people treated her that way, although she was also a beloved icon to many. Of course this is way before Roald Dahl released his book about witches. Everybody now knows they have blue spit, and wear wigs. Although Olive did always wear gloves and she may indeed have had horribly long fingernails under them... Haha Two earlier projects on Olive pink and this photo are linked below and in the comments https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.938431176332973&type=3 and https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1319493530330372&type=3

Looking for stuff that’s been in the desert for 155 years; installed by the first white fellas to come to Alice Springs, in 1871. The singing wire that crossed the Arrernte songlines
