Passing Storm, Burra Ruins

Graeme Hindmarsh, about 1 year ago

Love the simplicity of this and the juxtaposition of the abandoned home and carefully tendered paddock. Great shot!

kookylane, about 1 year ago

It looks like someone dropped their house on the ground and completely forgotten about it. It has that lost and found quality about it, maybe because of the loneliness. NICE SHOT!

Craig Watson, about 1 year ago

Agreed with Graeme Hindmarsh and kookylane… great shot…what more can I add…

except…

WHERE’S THE RAIN THE FARMERS NEED IN THE SOUTHERN REGIONS OF AUSTRALIA???

I love it! The composition, the mood it evokes and a reddish house contrasting with the green but blending so very nicely with the clouds! Fantastic picture!

Paul Vanzella, about 1 year ago

This is truely splendid.:)

peaberry, about 1 year ago

Brilliant shot, I believe that is the same beautiful little stone cottage on the cover of an old Midnight Oil album. In fact we went to Burra on the way back from the Flinders at Christmas just to see it! You’re photo is just fantastic and you are fortunate to have seen it with green crop around it!

lance leopold, about 1 year ago

JenStocks, about 1 year ago

wow….what an awesome colour and composition.

KathyT, about 1 year ago

Love the old cottages/ruins – you’ve captured this one in some lovely light which contrasts beautifully with the stormy sky. Love it! Now I’ve just got to keep an eye out for it!!

Lost Lost, about 1 year ago

Beautiful moody lighting in this, and tones to match..

David Stuart, about 1 year ago

Lovely work. The lawns look strangely manicured a stark contrast to the ramshackle cottage.

Joe Mortelliti, about 1 year ago

The Victa has been replaced by sheep out here andromada:-)...they do a very neat job

Katherine Kaka..., 12 months ago

Phil Eckert, 11 months ago

a classic shot Joe… I’m sure I’ve driven past this before…... well captured. The threatening sky behind adds a great feel to the shot…

Such a simple image but the passing storm adds drams and enhances the red of the stonework on the cottage

Joe Mortelliti, 10 months ago

What a wonderful capture and view.. Great work Joe..

Rachel Gellert, 6 months ago

This image stands out for me from the others in this group. I think it is a combination of the colours, and the stormy clouds against the sunlit cottage. It all seems so neat, like someone keeps the grass mowed, and the path swept. Kind of surreal. I’m also a sucker for stone ruins, so I can’t help liking it.

pmistric, 6 months ago

Absolutely beautiful. This image really draws me in with the tones displayed.
