Beautiful work Carolin! Love the freshness and movement of the hills..truly lovely!

The hills are volcanic…hence the rolls of staggered levels. One of my favorite parts of Victoria :)
Maria Medeiros
I ment to write Caroline…:)
Maria Medeiros
Wow! Volcanic? Incredible! I love volcanoes! Lovely!
Hans Kawitzki
Gippsland/Foster of course,fantastic landscape and light,those rolling hills are superb when the sun is low.
Caroline Gorka replied
Hey…made it Hans :))
Never found your little white house though (not that I’d have taken your shot if I had :) )
Hans Kawitzki
Looks very close to the spot where I took my shot,did you go up the dirt road towards Mt Best ? the little house is on the left,can’t remember the road name but its a gorge.
Caroline Gorka replied
We weren’t sure of where – and to be honest..we (Christine Wilson & I ) took a heck of a long time getting there LOL
The light wasn’t great that day …had to work hard on the exposures – and hope to go back very soon after I get back from England before the summer sun hits hard.
Carol & Kev Ha...
Truly magical moment in time Caroline…and you captured it perfectly… (Carol)
Caroline Gorka replied
Thanks Carol :)...are you going to confuse us by not always being you ??
Carol & Kev Ha...
No Caroline, no confusion…Kev isn’t one for computers, so I’ll be doing the uploading and commenting….

Thank you Pauline

Jared Revell
I love this Caroline, the rolling hills, the shadows and sun light, the clumps of grass…just beautiful !
Caroline Gorka replied
Thanks Jared … don’t you think Gippsland is just so gorgeous ?:)
Jared Revell
oh definitely !
at work, Gippsland is the region I look after, and boy are there some amazing sites.
do you remember where abouts in Gippsland you took this one ? Looks like the Yarragon Hills, but hard to tell from this perspective.
Caroline Gorka replied
It was from South Gippsland Highway … not far from Foster.
What do you do?
Jared Revell
Ah….lovely area around Foster…would like to take some shots of the wind farms when I’m back there. I’m an RF engineer by day….I design and optimise the mobile network….get to do plenty of driving and see some amazing areas of our state that not many people get to appreciate. I’ve got a shot called Gone that I took way out in Benambra, north of Omeo the just recently while out for work. There are some magical places in our own backyard isn’t there Caroline :-)
Caroline Gorka replied
Don’t remember seeing the wind farms..
Victoria is diverse, and in many places stunning…and trying to get round shooting as much as I can :)
