Cooma Drought

wow! that’s dusty looking! Was you camera safe??? It’s a beautiful shot but I wouldn’t have taken my camera out in this dust storm. Really, if you’re going to abuse your camera like that, maybe you should send it to me.. you know someone who will appreciate it and care for it and love it and give it a name….....:)

Wow Mel this is awesome !!! Disturbing as well

Oh wow that is gorgeous Mel ! such a beautiful sky and the light is so warm.

a fav for me mel, as you know we are affected mostly all over oz, great scenery :)) k

Love the light & colour Mel…... beautiful!!
Hope you get them all to be RB regulars!!!

And to show them how popular u are. WE HEART MEL!!!

stunning, staggering, shuddering, sweeping and fracking brilliant.

OMG!!!!! This is SPECIAL Mel… I want to walk down that line of fence… The distance is what gets to me – it overwhelms the piece, takes control of you the viewer and demands your undeniable attention!

wow Mel thats such an amazing image, one of your best!! so many different layers. Excellent work

Mel, this is my mothers and brothers country. I look out on the green of the hills and know how dry, how desolate central NSW is. You capture superbly the sense of place and the sense of endless waiting …. for rain.

Lovely, Mel…....class should be in awe of their teacher, very lucky students!

Australia, dry but beautiful in it’s own way -

Now that is an AMAZING view Mel!!!! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!

astonishing image Mel

it’s all been said above, but I love this !

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

Love the lighting and fence lead in Mel

Immense! Incredible!

superb image Mel, great work!

Beautiful image and love the Cooma area. Most of my fav images were taken in the Cooma/Lake Buckenderra area. Well done :-)

Love the depth and fence line leading into it. That’s a cool cloud too.

So sad isnt it….but l do love your take on it Mel…great layers and leading line!

Such a sad and sorry sight, but a brilliant photo, great stuff!

Gorgeous layers in this one.

....when i look at this, i look again…..
i take a deep breath, sigh, and wish i was there
it is very beautiful and peaceful Mel, wonderful work! :)

Frosty! Love the layered effect

Wow , this is beautiful .

You have created terrible beauty,Mel,love it!!!

It needs to be looked at in larger view, and it is well worth it. The cloud formation with the mist below looks wonderful. Except for the parched land (and the heat, which you can not feel from this), you woulld never believe it was a drought.

you would be the only photographer i know who could make a drought look that good!

Great light and colour…amazing cloud in the background..

Really nice Mel. Amazing sky. That tree on the left makes all the difference.

very nice indeed.

Mel wow outstanding the eye wanders perfectly down the fence line…sure you don’t want to trade locations for a few weeks..outstanding work

Lovely Mel! (I miss the waterscapes though! :D :D )

Scary and beautiful all at the same time.

outstanding ;

Fantabulous shot Mel, you sure have a good eye,

(even if the rest of you is falling to bits ….....;-))

An excellent Image Mel!!

Beautiful photograph! Love the colors and mist and the seemingly endless layers of hills.
