The Tinderry range is near Canberra, Australia. I was there over Easter. Took a drive in late afternoon when it was stormy - the best time for photos!

Comments by Dave Geyer on Sat, 03/29/08 18:40 A different and original landscape. Puts me in mind of the Brooks and Dunn song "Red Dirt Road". Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sat, 03/29/08 19:30 I really like landscapes such as this with a road wandering through the setting and disappearing over a far hill... bringing a sense of anticipation to the mind of the viewer... either as to what is to be seen over the next hill or what might be coming over that hill. There is a visual balance created in the picture between that of the landscape and the cloudy sky portion. One could imagine that driving on that roadway in a rainstorm would be a trying experience.

Love the grass color, did you have to push it a bit? (Not complaining, wondering what it was like.) Comments by Rory Hudson on Sat, 03/29/08 20:20 Thanks folks... jj, the colours are pretty much as they were, this is due to the fact that it was late afternoon with that great glow that one gets at that time. The grass was all dry due to a drought we are having over here, and the effect of a very hot summer. Comments by Leo M.

Comments by DebbiK on Sat, 03/29/08 21:14 the road lends itself nicely to this image-love the colors and the view My Email Address Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Sat, 03/29/08 21:24 This has everything going for it - the colorful, irregular dirt road, the changing scenery along the way and finally, that wonderful sky, full of texture and shapes. Comments by Christopher Azzopardi on Sun, 03/30/08 09:14 Very interesting composition. I really like the saturated colours and the contrast between the golden yellow foreground and the blue sky. Well done! Comments by Jeff Dye on Sun, 03/30/08 13:14 Ditto most of the above. I might have moved forward (feet or zoom) enough to eliminate most or all of the road turning right to take better advantage (closer) of the grasses. And either a little wider focal length if available or move slightly right to take in the fence on the left unless there's something objectionable over there. Comments by Linda Frey on Sun, 03/30/08 13:45 Love the clouds, and the lines in this. The colour doesn't hurt either! The tree is a nice exclamation mark.
