Hey, Bales!

Firstly...Season's Greetings on this fine summers day here in Ballarat!
Today's images from Monday morning show a nice collection of hay bales out on the west side of Lake Burrumbeet. There was just enough fog floating around to add some nice atmosphere to these images...it quickly disappeared once the sun had risen with a just a few pockets left as you can see in the last image here.

Moon Time

I knew the almost-full moon would be setting very early on Sunday morning and with clear skies I was able to catch a few nice images. The first one here is looking across to View Point at Lake Wendouree and then a couple out at Windermere as the moon was sinker lower and lower on the horizon.

Mid Morning

A quick visit out to Mt Warrenheip on Saturday morning to find the ferns are still looking pretty nice, certainly helped along by the recent rains. And looking north there was some nice light across the fields looking out to Clarkes Hill.

A Pair

Friday was the Summer Solstice...the longest day of the year. However, the weather felt more like Winter with a grey morning turning into a wet afternoon. With limited opportunities I managed to find a couple of interesting trees, sitting below a misty canopy, that conveyed the general mood of the day.

Windermere Wonders

Some thick fog around on Thursday morning out at Windermere just off the freeway where I found (through the fog) a field of harvested canola. There was also some nice light on the edge of the paddock as the sun tried hard to burn through the fog and the whole place was full of spiderwebs.

Just in Time.....

On Wednesday morning I made it out to Mt Warrenheip just in time to catch a fantastic sunrise above the mountain. It actually started raining whilst I was flying and the colour and light was snuffed out pretty quickly as the heavier cloud cover moved in.

Misty Morn

A bit of mist around on Tuesday morning offered some nice atmospheric light through the trees, and there is still plenty of canola waiting in the paddocks to be collected....
