    fantastic scene Varinia ! A very different image from ‘KI’ to what we normally would see.
    I think it ‘may’ look even better with B&W treatment…

    all the best for NYE and 2009 ! :)

  • Globalphotos replied

    Thanks so much Tone, mono would suit this one, but the blue captivated me !!
    Have a wonderful NYE, all the best for 2009 !!!

  • Phil Thomson IPA

    Phil Thomson IPA

    Absolutely Stunning, Varinia !!! A prefect title and a great POV for such a barren landscape and the rich blue sky with the windblown clouds create a wonderful contrasting backdrop and leading lines !!

  • Globalphotos replied

    Lovely comment Phil, thank you so much :-))

  • bill oneil

    bill oneil

    fantastic, love it, though its a sad reflection on whats happening weather wise in South Australia lately.

  • Globalphotos replied

    Thanks Bill….... Was looking for discovery lagoon on KI when I was over there, had seen a lovely shot from that location. When I eventually found it the grass was 1m high and not a drop of water in sight. Water flow in many areas is a thing of the past sadly.

  • Simon Whittaker

    Simon Whittaker

    Great work, I liove the composition and capture. The stark light really reinforces the desolation of the scene. Well done.

  • Globalphotos replied

    Thanks so much, desolation describes it aptly :-))

    Mel Brackstone

    Wow, that sure is a pretty awful scene, what’s killing all the trees?? Very dramatic image though, wonderful sky and awesome framing!

  • Globalphotos replied

    Thanks so much Mel …..........was disturbing, the only thing other than drought that I could see was increased salinity ….

  • Mel Brackstone

    Mel Brackstone

    or too many koalas, as well as drought and salinity?

  • Globalphotos replied

    :D wrong kind of trees, only saw 3 live ones, plenty of road kill though :(
