The Star of the Show

After the excitement of the foggy morn on Tuesday, Wednesday offered me a totally different morning with the sun the star of the show. At first I didn't think I was going to get much to work with as a low band of clouds on the horizon looked likely to stop much happening at sunrise, however the sun managed to break free with a spectacular golden glow. The first 2 here, from different spots a few kilometres apart, are out east of Yendon on the way to Mt Egerton. Pretty happy with this pair, as I was getting back towards the freeway at Warrenheip, this view of the sun cresting  a fog-capped Mt Warrenheip had me stopping again for a fantastic end to the mornings adventures.
And as for this morning......wow!

Burrumbeet Beauties

Here's a few more from Tuesday's great morning session at Lake Burrumbeet. As you can see I had some terrific conditions that gave me some fantastic images......including the stop at the old Burrumbeet pub on the way out, well before sunrise.
....and I still haven't got to the aerials!

On Its Own

On Tuesday morning the forecast of fog had me excited to see what I could find. A second visit within a week to this spot at Lake Burrumbeet paid big dividends. Though I have a lot of other great images from the morning, I wanted this one to have its own post. I really like the way the lingering fog has totally blocked out the background that usually shows the distant shoreline.

Looking Good

Some great calm conditions on Monday evening had me out around the Clarkes Hill area, Boundary Church Road to be precise. With a couple of irrigators pumping out the water, I captured a range of images of the vibrant new potato crops. I discovered last year how amazing the rainbows look from up high!
And this morning a quick peak from a foggy morning out around Burrumbeet...this is the old Burrumbeet Pub on the Freeway as a semi trailer goes roaring past - almost taking me with it! More to come from this great morning.

Duckscapes

Something a bit different today. I was running around Lake Wendouree here in Ballarat on Sunday morning (yes, it was hot!) and on the north side of the lake the reflection off the Ballarat Grammar boat shed was intense...and with a few ducks as well, it offered a chance to catch something a bit different to my usual landscapes. So I finished my run and grabbed the camera for this set.......and then I did another lap to finish off the run I had planned!

A Simple Springbank Saturday Summer Sunrise

I think the title says it all for this image from Saturday morning.....!

The Ghost Trees of Lal Lal

Early Friday morning I found a nice view at Lal Lal Reservoir. These dead trees that line the shore look to have been bleached by the sun and have taken on an almost ghost-like appearance. With the greens of the trees and reflected blue sky, it creates quite a stunning scene. I think a closer inspection on another visit may be on the cards!
