Thanks Mark, the 28 Summicron certainly is great, a lens with a lot of strings to its bow, including landscapes.

This is another from same location, at f/4.0 where the Summicron gives such a strong 3d feeling

I've previously had the 28 Elmarit-R v2 as well, another stellar lens - even better than the 28/2-M.

Love U Baby

 

On the main track between Canberra and the Snowy Mountains, and lying between the small country town of Cooma and the even smaller village of Berridale

there is to be found a wide belt of beautifully weathered granite boulders, some of outstandingly large proportions.

 

This particular boulder is situated on privately owned land and is separated from the road behind a fence of barbed wire, yet it has still been defaced, not once but twice.

 

 I like this new effort, it makes an interesting contrast to the stark landscape and I wonder if the perpetrator ripped his pants climbing over the fence. 

 

Taken yesterday....without climbing the fence....thanks for looking.

Taken in the Yarra Valley near Melbourne.  Pretty sure it was taken from Maddens Rise winery (very nice product there!)

Love to hate the incongruity of graffiti. But it emphasised the beauty of the landscape too. People can't help defacing these magnificent granite tors, found all over Australia...all scribed.

 

The compositional balance with the dead trees is very comfortable. Nice tonal range Dee.

 

all best Dave S

Thanks Dave, I have to say that "Love U Baby" is so far the only one of the "Berridale Boulders" that I have seen defaced and I have seen a great many of them on various roads and tracks. 

 

I sincerely hope that in saying this I am not putting it out into the ether and so drawing potential defacers attention to them! 

 

I actually like this particular graffiti effort, it's so utterly incongruous here that it seems to enhance the starkness of the landscape in a strange way.

Regards, Dee

Thanks Dave, glad you liked them.....yes, there has been quite a bit of "willow bashing" in recent years, it seems to have become trendy to regard them as weeds and so to rip them out....people can be such sheep! 

The Bombala river is lovely and very natural, large parts of it are still quite wild and inaccessible and, to give credit where it's due, the willows do a great job of preventing erosion of the banks during floods, they are also very beautiful.

....anyway personally I tend to subscribe to Peter Andrews Natural Sequence Farming theories.

 

Platypus ??...they are not at all scarce or hard to see, but they are shy, they appear to be little logs floating on the surface...then plop, splash and they're gone.
