Does Dracula believe in Santa Claus?
An old paper mill in infrared. A glorious scene made somehow even more unreal yet almost heavenly by infrared.

lightsmith
Thank you all – such glowing comments are so welcome. Reflector, the water was stunning but I had to climb over some rather frightening rocks to get into a position to take it. But it’s always work it for a photo :-)

lightsmith
You are all so kind in your comments. I will confess that to get this one I had to climb down and across lots of rocks, and find footholds through part of the river. Being a trifle unbalanced (physically as well as mentally LOL) it is not my best thing. Unfortunately, I also suffer from arthur-itis, and had been out and about the day before, so my limbs were not at all happy about the whole thing. But I had a camera in my hand and a view to capture – so they were out-voted. So your comments, you see, are very much appreciated.

WOW, I love this! ...and the title is awesome! What a perfect composition. ...it’s like it could be Dracula’s place if he ended up going to heaven ;) hehe …Well done!
lightsmith replied
Maybe Dracula craved forgiveness and it was granted. Hey, imagine the party if THAT sinner repented!
Dayonda

This is an awesome shot….WOW!
lightsmith replied
Thanks Paul. I should have recalled this shot when I was reading Festive but I was too involved with your great twister. It was only a couple of days ago that it suddenly came back to mind LOL
John Conway
thanks for the link LS, fantastic IR work mate
lightsmith replied
Thanks John. It nearly crippled me getting down to the water and clambering over the rocks (I have arthritic knees!) but hey, give me a camera and I’ll do anything. It really is worth a day visit (plenty of other places in Geelong so pay three visits – morning, noon and afternoon LOL)
