    Great choice of light time the detail of colour you have shown brings it out well…check my B/W of this

  • Thanks again. Sunset is definitely my preferred time for landscapes with its soft light. The Warrumbungles, for instance, became a totally different place at sunset.

    Nice shot. The title is spot on. This building would have to be the recognisable of all in Hill End.

  • Thank you. I love that place.
