FOCAL POINT

In this composition the main subject is missing! Or is it?

Yes, it's the large shadow over the rock and it has a three-dimensional look to it.

I continue to be fascinated by shadows. Sometimes I think they are of more interest than the objects I photograph or draw, as in today's featured image.

NATURE THE RECLAIMER

I went on a drive today to take some more photos.

Today's image comes from a wrecking yard.

I like the balance between the man-made and the natural landscape. I think Nature's winning!

MEMORIES

I first visited Cheshunt, a farming property in Tasmania's Meander Valley some 20 years ago when this building was in its prime.

Earlier in the year I paid the farm another visit and photographed the building for a second time, and captured a very different structure that had seen better days.

From an artist's point of view i think it makes for an even better subject!

CURIOSITY

I photographed these Jersey calves on my way home from Cheshunt earlier in the year. The Jersey is my favourite cow.
