When I saw this old garage, it really caught my eye. I quickly thought if I could combine a grungie derelict building with autumn trees in an image?? So I did a u-turn to investigate the scene better and waited for some light before making this composition. I liked the character of the run down old building and the blue 44 gallon drums scattered about. The autumn tones and foliage completed the scene for me.
‘Taggerty motors – Autumn grunge’
With winter bearing its teeth I thought that I should at least try to slip in one autumn post before it’s 100% all over for another year.
I thought that this autumn coloured tree (unsure of species as I am more familiar with Australian natives) and picnic table by the river made for a lovely and inviting scene for a picnic lunch. Well in my case an image!
‘Autumn in the park’
Whilst the weather has been raining here for the last 2 days and rather cold! So I thought that another recent surf image was in order to brighten things up a little in denial of the inevitable plunge into winter. This guy is charging down the face on the first reef as the kelp licks up in the pit.
‘ Go! ‘
I recently spent some time 4WD’ing and camping about in the alps. It was generally -2 to 3C and with the cloud base down to about 1400m the entire time ! So not only did that make it very dull but it also limited opportunities a bit. But having said that it was still an inspiring environment to be in if you took the time and looked around you. This is one of the scenes that I came across on a track graded ’4×4 very difficult’. The two trees, centre and centre right, really caught my eye and their detail in the full resolution image is pretty cool as they still stand all gnarled and twisted amidst the clouds.
‘Skeleton forest of the clouds’
A big swell sees waves breaking on reefs that don’t often break. This one caught my eye as it crashed offshore. The dawn light that filled the sky was a magical mix of surf mist and controlled bush burn off smoke.
‘ Ocean wave ‘
A surfer paddles up over the lip of a nice size wave, you’ve gotta respect this spot with an unforgiving reef in front of you !
