Weekender, February 24th-25th, 2024

[Rich]

Good day all! A beautiful blue sky mild temp day in South Dakota!

I found this Sumi-e type photo today. It is grasses poking through snow that I did a high contrast adjustment on years ago.
Have a good weekend!

[Dave]

Elegant, Rich.

Another from Wednesday morning after the rains stopped, leaving everything clean and the colors especially rich...

^ Wot he said.

I've been away both getting my eyes tested in one rural city, then fortherto the National Capital to visit my daughter and granddaughters. Spent some time in the National Botanic Gardens where my daughter works.

On the way home about 600km or more away from the fires in the state of Victoria, the view was like this.

Thanks Dave Grant and Peter.

Dave good composition and presentation!

Peter, looks like a lonely stretch of road and haze from the fire dulls the suns power.

[Man From Ironbark]

Lonely stretch is correct. Unlike 85% of Australians who live within 50 miles of a beach, I live 500 miles from the nearest beach.

Peter,
Non the less a well executed image 500 Miles?

[Man From Ironbark]

Thanks Grant.
Well, no. It is roughly 450 miles in reality.
