In Memory of the Pioneers

In Memory of the Pioneers

I was traveling each day between Albury and my son’s farm at Wymah, while attending APSCON, and noticed this little chapel erected in memory of the pioneers. Anyway I could not resist the temptation for a couple of shots when the rain clouds followed me up the highway.

The purple is my favourite flower…..... NOT! We call it “Salvation Jane”, most call it correctly – Paterson’s Curse.

The chapel is just short of a place called Bowna, NSW, Australia

    Everything comes together very nicely here. It is not often that I am taken by an image that has the main subject so close to the centre. I can even make out some symmetrical qualities in this one.
    Nice treatment indeed, though I find the left corner of the roof a bit light.

    Ironic that Paterson’s Curse should add such a dramatic splash of colour! Your HDR treatment really works well in this charming image.
