Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Oddly enough, that shot reminds me of central California.

I feel the same way about California, Charli and we felt really at home there on our road trip last year. I feel very at home there. I felt the same way about the Grand Canyon. Very much reminds me of home.

I’m sure there are parts of the States that have very similar weather as does South Africa. It is the vegetation that will be different but there weren’t too many trees in this photo to make it seem different.

Central California has blond, hilly terrain dotted with lone oaks and darker hills in the distance. Yes, similar terrains around the world. I’m sure immigrants often feel drawn to certain states as reminders of the home country they left.

That is so true. When we moved to our farm Roger said that he felt that he was back in the UK on the Sussex Downs. It made him feel at home immediately.
Instead of oaks we have eucalpyts and the oil evaporating from them often makes our hills in the distance look quite blue – hence the name Blue Mountains.

Ah–there are eucalyptus trees in California, too! Yes, we look for the familiar in new places, don’t we?

Are they cobblers pegs? I had a run in with them myself last weekend.

Yes they are Jenny although I had to look it up on the internet as I have only ever known them as ‘farmer’s friends’. Horrible things but we have an even worse one here that is impossible to remove from the dog’s coats and paws.

Typical Australian countryside, I’ve also seen pictures of parts of South Africa that look similar to parts of Australia but I think the climate is similar so not surprising really.

I think we are similar apart from trees. I even felt parts of Sweden in summer were similar to home apart from the trees.

Looks dry, hot and desolate!

I agree. It probably is good pasture as I imagine that there is no difference between this grass and hay but to the eye it looks dry and desolate.

Could use a little water out there. Makes for a great photo.

Yes it always comes as a bit of a shock how dry it is as soon as you head west a bit. For you in California it is probably when you head east.
