This photo was taken in the same area as the last one I shared for this series of challenges.
There’s something… I don’t know… maybe melancholic about this photo. Not sure, but I do know that it doesn’t have to do with the smoke from the field burning. That’s something that seems to just be there, but also has a sense of prominence and focus.
I’m content with how I framed this photo. There’s something that feels Australian about it. Might have to do with how the sunset’s colours work with the landscape, or the tall, seemingly-lonesome power pole. I think the framing also helps to capture a sense of space and distance. The idea of isolation is almost suggested.
This is my submission into the one hundred-and-fifty-third Lens-Artists Photo Challenge.
The theme for this one is “It’s a Wonderful World“.
The challenge is hosted by four people and cycles weekly:
Week 1 – Patti
Week 2 – Ann-Christine aka Leya
Week 3 – Amy
Week 4 – Tina
Amy is curating this week’s challenge. Next week Tina is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges. They’re enjoyable and allow room for interpretation of the theme without straying too far. If you don’t participate, then I recommend that you at least check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.
I love this image, beautiful light, composition… and nicely framed. Thank you for sharing!

It is a great Australian photo. And the gate is shut. I always remember in Aus. people in the Outback saying: “Shut the bloody gate” !

I haven’t had that experience myself, but I also haven’t spent much time in The Outback.

The Outback is amazing in many ways and also a bit like going to another planet.

Rather arid and teeming with life all the same.

Lovely landscape SH – the smoke gives it a very interesting feel.

Certainly does.
I took a few photos featuring the smoke that I may share at some point.
I’ve spent a fair bit of time in regional Victoria, but never had seen field burning before this drive.

Nice shot. I like it in zoom mode. Great textures in the grass, the utility lines lead upper left to lower right, and the smoke goes to the right. Nice flow.
