Landscape Pictures
I will soon be making a photo-intensive trip to Indonesia with my dad… While we wait for photos from that trip, here are more photos from my visit to Western Australia last month. The above is taken near Cape Leeuwin in Augusta which is known as the most south-westerly mainland point of the Australian Continent. The Cape is also considered the point where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean — hence the title for the shot.
As a city dweller, I have somehow been always attracted to the sight of hay fields. My first opportunity to photograph them came almost 10 years ago during a visit to Western Australia. On my return trip to Western Australia last month, I visited almost the same spot along the Balingup-Nannup Scenic Route. The skies had just cleared up after a morning shower and I had wanted to scout around for a much higher vantage point. However, I had to give up my attempt because of literally tonnes of irritating bush flies that attacked me from top to toe immediately after I got off the car!
First post of the new year… Obviously, I haven’t had time to go out to take some pictures as yet, so one from 2012 will do for now. We made a short getaway to Western Australia just a month ago. The weather was supposed to be hot but an unusual day of heavy rainfall greeted us when we arrived in the Margaret River area. After a whole day of rain, I was glad that the sun made a dramatic appearance during our evening drive. With little time to spare, I headed towards the beach. I was initially dismayed when I saw the vehicle on the jetty. In the end, the occupants and their activity actually proved to be nice foreground subjects to contrast against the dramatic scene behind them.
