Mark,

 

wow, this is what photography is about: light par excellence. I like the toning and These multifold shades, ther eis even texture in the highlights. Well done!

Dee,

 

what a fantastic Image!

The sky is very dramatic and the sheep merge into the landscape perched under that wide threatening sky.

Dee,

ooh, another artistic Vision. These lines work in their planned simplicity. The smoke caused by fire is eerie.

very subtle. This shot reminds me of the "Ansel Adams" - feel of magic

Hi Mark,

That's a nice bit of geometry...and great textures.

The landing sea gull is an amusing eye trick when looking at the picture...

A frosty winter morning on the Bombala river, southern Monaro NSW.

These pools are prime platypus habitat.

KH...there's ice around the edges of those pools....

Sure Dee, but with a wetsuit! 

I would love to see platypus in action. :-)

Dee,

 

you gotb the symmetries and patterns nicely and with depth.

Shannonvale

 

There's not much there now - it is a hidden valley known only by a name on the map and an official Australian postcode.  Latitude -36.931 and longitude 147.423, which puts it just to the east of the Bogong High Plains in Victoria.

Great layering of scenery and colour.

 

ps thanks for the pm and post update regarding the location. I'd never heard of Shanonvale - Google Maps put it in Northern Queensland which is not where this scenery looks like it would be found. Victoria makes much more sense :-)

Les, nice picture...interesting.  Those Snow Gums (?) don't recover like other fire ravaged eucalyptus.

 

Mark, Palm Beach and not a palm in sight!  But always plenty of Norfolk Island Pines along the east coast...wherever there is a port. Had my yacht on a mooring there for many years, and used to get my sea fix living aboard for a few days every month; a four hour drive from inland NSW (Orange).  Pittwater, some of the best cruising grounds in the world. I have thousands of boating pictures...but non with Leica equipment, unfortunately.

 

Dee, like your prime platypus playground (when are you going to change your avatar to a platypus?).  It just looks a lovely spot to sit and contemplate, or do no thinking at all!

 

All the best Dave S

About 160 Km south of Alice Springs is Chambers Pillar. It rises out of the flat surrounding landscape. 350 million year old sandstone.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[platypus]

Les, Shannonvale: a fine photo of beautiful mountain scenery. It is undeniably sad to see the eucalyptus die-back, or the bush fire damage, that so many of the trees in the Snowys have sustained, but it does make the image graphic!

I wondered if this was taken along the Australian Alps Walking Track route?

Oh yes!...no platypus avatar, that would be such a cliche!
