Northern Beaches of Cairns, from Henry Ross Lookout
The Henry Ross Lookout is on the Kennedy Highway (part of the Savannah Way), which cuts its way up the Macalister Range above Smithfield, a township in the Northern Beaches stretch north of Cairns, to Kuranda at the top of the range.
The Kennedy Highway affords spectacular views of the low lying areas between the range and the ocean, and also takes one through lush rainforest areas.
I took this exposure on a beautiful clear day.

Shaun Johnston replied
Thanks Jacqueline! I’m tempted to get a version printed on canvas because I think the intensity of the colours would suit it well.

i agree 100%

Wicked colours!
Shaun Johnston replied
Thanks Kelly – the intention is to achieve something that will work really well on a canvas. I have yet to test this theory!

Excellent drec, I used to live in Smithfield so the house I lived in is obscured by the scrub to the left :)

I missed this one before. I’m chasing clouds too at the moment…
To bad I live in Sweden, and there is at most 2 decent heroic clouds/day.
Nice exposure mate.

Magnificent!! I think it must be the level of detail and the color of the light, this seems more real than is possible, but there it is: a pleasant dilemma, eh?!
