Nannup Distractions

We’ve been to Nannup in the Blackwood Valley several times before and I’ve written about one of this visits before.  Last time I photographed orchids this time I meant to do some bird photography. I only managed to take a couple of bird photos on the first day – of a female Red-winged Fairy-wren (Malurus elegans) – as I got distracted and didn’t take the birding stuff out for the rest of the week.

The cause of this distraction. Well as a last minute decision I’d decided to throw a film camera, a 50mm lens and a couple of rolls of film into my bag. At first I was just going to take nature photos while walking along the river foreshore. It was just initially to explore forms and textures. But, it wasn’t long before I was walking up and down the streets of Nannup (there aren’t many) taking pictures of anything that caught my eye. I have a particular fascination with signage – I often find it quite amusing.  Anyway the results are below.

It wouldn’t be Nannup without any mention of the the Nannup Tiger or thylacine.
