Well I’ve been uploading some pretty and colourful images for the last week or so and now I’m going to post some more of my dark landscapes again. All of this series will be infrared film images taken a couple of years ago at a friends place in the Hunter Valley. Mostly they will be hills and valley shot to emphasize the skys and will be somewhat abstract for that. I find that I see patterns in nature that are revealed very early in the morning or very late at night which not suprisingly are my favorite times to shoot.
The snow is gone, spring clouds are forming, and the lines traced by the harvest machinery still trace their way over the hill.
A sepia version of a previous image The Enloe-Floyd Barn is located at The Mountain Farm Museum on U.S. 441 adjacent to the national park’s Oconaluftee Visitor Center, two miles north of Cherokee. The site is open year-round The barn is the only museum building original to the site. It was part of the Joseph Enloe farm. The Enloe house, built in the 1880s, stood on the site now occupied by the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. In 1917 the Enloes sold their farm to the Floyds, a neighboring family. When the museum opened, the barn was initially left on its original site, about 30 yards from the present-day Visitor Center. It was moved to its current location within the museum complex in 1960. Fifty feet wide and 60 feet long with a “shotgun” opening down the middle, the structure has several stalls and storage areas on each side of the long “hallway.” Upstairs there is a vast hayloft large enough to store a 2,500 square foot suburban home. Thought to be a “Drover’s barn” it is similar to the cantilevered barn in having a large, overhanging, frame loft for hay storage In this case, the loft is supported by log piers. This structure is much bigger than most barns, for it served as a “cattle hotel”, a place where farmers could stable their herds for a night as they drove them off the mountains to market

This little open air church is in the middle of the Pueblo Esparragos complex of apartments set on a pine clad hillside overlooking the bay of Cala Llonga, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain. Ibiza is one of the Spanish Balearic Islands situated off the coast of Spain in the Western Mediterranean. BEST VIEWED LARGER. Related shots can be found at: Ibiza, Spain and Western Meditteranean.
While driving along the A35 just west of Bridport, Dorset, England, I noticed, through the hedgerow and between the houses, the sunlight hitting a little hill with a small group of trees at its summit. We pulled over and I walked down a small track between two properties to be greeted with this view. The small lake – natural or manmade – sits at the end of someone’s garden. How I wish it were mine!
A foggy morning in Parker, Colorado. Landscapes as a subject matter are not my strength, so let’s chalk this up to a lesson learned. Featured in the group, Nirvana.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Moonscape – Queenstown Queenstown, Tasmania, Australia. You could be forgiven for thinking that you had stepped onto another planet when you first come across Queenstown, located 260km west of Hobart. The barren, bald hills are the result of the copper mining that was done here over 73 years. The sulphurous residue from the Mount Lyell Copper Mine stripped the earth of everything living and left a grey and brown sludge over the surrounding hills and plains. / Owing to a combination of tree removal for use in the smelters, the smelter fumes (for about 40 years), and the heavy annual rainfall, the erosion of the shallow horizon topsoil back to the harder rock profile contributed to the stark state of the mountains for many decades. / Typical of the successions that occur in fire affected areas in Western Tasmania, the low shrubbery that has revegetated adjacent to hillside creeks is a very early stage of a long recovery for the ecology of the region. / Some concern by local residents in the 1980s, and since, that the low-level succession of plants might affect the stark ‘moonscape’ appearance of the southern parts of Mount Lyell, and northern Mount Owen. Although there are still large areas incapable of sustaining regrowth due to the acute slopes and lack of soil formation, the rate of vegetation recovery will render the mythologies arising from the appearance as only partial truths in time.

Ross Corner in Sussex County, NJ, USA. My grandfather is descended from the Ross Family of NJ/NY… Scots they were. Many generations ago they farmed the land in North Jersey but then the sons wanted to leave for the city life and other jobs and the land has been sold a number of times over. / There is a small family graveyard, the Ross/Ryerson Cemetery, not a mile from here. It is in the middle of a horse pasture enclosed by a low stone wall. Some of the headstones are broken but still legible, dating from the late 1700’s. Photo taken 15 Mar 2009.
Photograph taken from my back yard this morning, 10-6-09. It snowed all day yesterday, some stuck to the grass and the hillsides, that in the mountains is likely there until April! The sun will eventually burn off that shroud today. :o)
We were up on the hill at one of the overlooks of Bear Lake in Utah and we saw this group of wild turkeys There were about 10 hens These three I was able to get a closer view of.
