Green fields again
Soon we were gliding through the green fields again. As the day began to dim a storm began to brew. It was going to be much cooler by the time we got home.
The reflections in the glass were a real pest for photography, hence the lack of shots from on the train despite lots of lovely scenery.
It absolutely works, JE. I take tons of photos and only get one or two that are worth anything but I can understand your frustration. At first I thought this was a painting.
I am with the other two - it really works and gives everything a deeper and more surreal layer. I am trying to spot you in the reflection ;-) I like the colouring very much.
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
Ah but I like this reflection because it adds to the complexity of the cloud layer and reinforces that you are actually in a train carriage.
ReplyDeleteI love the horizontal layering in this photo including the shadow, the storm clouds AND the reflection.
I agree the reflection in this one works ... thus making it into the series ... but seats, oneself etc obliterating the view are quite another matter.

Here the glass has added to the shot. It makes it look like a painting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful contrasting colours!
