Passing Storm, Burra Ruins

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!

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???

Rain??...yes Craig these shots featuring storms are two and 3 yeras ago…thanks for the feed back everyone:-)

ooooooooooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this cottage, can’t understand haow I haven’t spotted it on my many trips to Burra and beyond.
Morteliti you captured it in a magnificent way.

fantastic! absolutely stunning photo

Awesome image.

Amazing !

Wow! Wow! Wow! Thats all I can say…I love it!

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!

Brilliant work – just love it! The compostion and colour is amazing. You must be proud of this result – what a great moment in time you’ve captured!

A striking image which struck a chord with me immediately.

How beautiful.

I love this one Joe.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look and comment:-)

This is truely splendid.:)

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!

Wonderful!! love it.

This is really lovely. Good shot. I love the mood – you have captured it well.

wow….what an awesome colour and composition.

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!!

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

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

The Victa has been replaced by sheep out here andromada:-)...they do a very neat job

I love this one. It has a real quirkiness to it. I love how the landscape contrasts the little cottage. It is just beautiful.

This is fantastic! The colours are so intense.

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…

Thanks Phil…It’s on the main road heading out of Burra to Hawker

Superb….simplicity rules here….great colours and composition

Absolutely breathtaking shot. I love it. Colors are spectacular

The lines are fantastic! Great capture.

Great photo, love the grey sky with the green.
Thanks for your comment on CRITICISM. I will definately look at P4P. Thanks
Tony

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

Thanks folks, appreciate you leaving comments

Awesome shot Joe – love the detail and colour, and the way you can see right through the house and back out to the paddock :)

wonderful Joe! I love this scene

So stark and beautiful!

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

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.

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

I love the mood of this image!

This has the feeling of emptiness and life at the same time. The lighting, textres and colors are stunning! Your talent amazes me!
