Barriers and mist
It was a very wet Easter ‘08 in the Southern NSW Highlands – but all was not in vain! There was a lot of mist and rustic charm about the place. While taking this photo of the entrance to a rural property the owner suddenly materialised out of the mist and spooked the hell out of me. Thankfully he wasn’t carrying a pitchfork and didn’t seem to mind too much!
Barriers and mist belongs to the following groups:
Landscape Photography, Rusty, Crusty and Falling to Bits and Shots in the FogAvailable for sale as Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

KeeeeeRACK!!! (thats the sound of my jaw hitting the keyboard)
Oh sweet jesus on a popstick Shaddy! This is simply effing GORGEOUS!!! YOU and this image are just what I needed to clear my head and refocus my mind. Heartfelt thanks.
Shaddy in reply to Rosalie Dale IPA’s comment, 7 months ago
Hey Rosalie! Geez you were quick off the mark with that comment! I was actually in a little place between Berry and Kangaroo Valley. Rusty and Crusty, hey?! Might just do that, thanks.
So where abouts were you?!
Shaddy in reply to Rhana Griffin’s comment, 7 months ago
Shucks Rhan! Glad to be of help my friend – hope you are still enjoying and looking after my favourite place in the world.
It’s been far too long between drinks for me as well in terms of posting pics on the bubble.

Visited Belmore Falls, Robertson, Fitzroy Falls, Thirlmere in the mist … you MUST go to Belmore Falls – there are at least 3 different views to the falls and they are better than Fitzroy! George Petrovsky and Warren Williams have pics of up them so far.
Shaddy in reply to Rosalie Dale IPA’s comment, 7 months ago
I’ve heard that about Belmore! I’ll have a squiz at George and Warren’s work….

Shaddy in reply to Heather Mitchell’s comment, 7 months ago
Scared the hell out of me Heather! He suddenly emerged from the left of the shot without any warning at all except for a deep and suspicious voice. Can’t blame him really!

Awesome photo! Great combination of iron, timber, and different coloured lichens against that green grass – plus of course the mist and damp. Composition is lovely – makes me feel that I can walk along the fence and enter the paddock beyond and disappear into the mist.
