Doraville Dawn
I was scooting along the highway very early on a summer morning, heading south to Newcastle to spend Christmas 06 with family when I saw this misty dawn scene in a little valley. I turned off at the exit and found myself in a sleepy little rural hamlet called Doraville. This interesting little place is located between Port Macquarie and Taree, NSW, Australia.
Fuji S5500: f/8 @ 1/42sec, ISO 100, hand held but supported by a trusty fence post.
Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.
