highplain drifter…

Some magical, yet very brief light on the Victorian highplains. Winds were strong across this plain and had blown most of the exposed snow away in little ‘snow devil’ type vortices. The temps were around -4C with 50 + km/h winds, suffice to say I sought shelter pretty quickly !

Lovely shot Tony, it’s just I don’t know, soft and simple or something. I just can’t describe how it makes me feel but it’s just really nice.

- hi Andrea – thanks very much for commenting on this one. I think it’s sort of warm but cold, warm due to the light and tones, yet frigid due to the snow and environment… My thoughts anyway…
  
  cheers,
