20. Forests
Australia is covered in eucalyptus forests but they are not all the same. The trees have different shapes and sizes, different colours and textures. These Snow Gums in the mist are typical of high mountain places.
I find the muted greens particularly appealing in this shot. The dampness of the day also helped lift the colour at the same time as contrasting because of the dull sky.
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.
A magic pic. Great composition, colour and texture.

DeleteI like the way it draws your eyes over the rocks and beyond. As Diane says, a magic pic.
ReplyDeleteMakes you want to go for a walk.
DeleteIt IS a beauty of a shot.
ReplyDeleteOf another world.
I find mist does create other worlds.
DeleteI am smelling this one with my eyes ...
ReplyDeleteFor me this type of forest doesn't have much of a fragrance at least not a cold wet day. A warm wet day would be different.
