When the sun shines again
I’ve made a substantial donation to the Red Cross already, but the proceeds from any sales this month will also be sent to them. Here in Qld there’s been severe flooding, and in Southern Australia there’s been devastating fire.
Canon 5D, 16-35mm at 16mm, f/6.3, 1/6”, ISO 50, Lee ND grads 0.9 and 0.6, tripod, anti personnel missiles…

Good on you Mel you are very generous.
this image together with the fires remind me of these lines from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
“And those her ribs through which the Sun
Did peer, as through a grate ?
And is that Woman all her crew ?
Is that a DEATH ? and are there two ?
Is DEATH that woman’s mate ?”

Mel i have to visit you one day and you can take me to this place, you take the most remarkable images of it!!
Mel Brackstone replied
I can’t take the credit Luka, my shooting buddy Nick chooses when the best times to go are….depending on tides and weather and all sorts of planet alignments…..We’ve also factored in the knowledge that weekends are NOT a good time to go anymore :) Never-the-less, be pleased to show you where it is, and love to shoot with you!
