HFF !
This fence is one minute from the main street, and from it, we look down some steep embankment to a little stream.
While Miss Woolly is content to saunter around up on the high ground with me, Pip slips straight under, to race down to the water's edge, eager to persuade any sunbaking water dragons that they'd like a swim, LoL ;)
It's only a little bit of parkland, but being so close to home, we do drop in quite often, as it has a surprising amount of photo opportunities.
Parrots, lizzies, cows, greenery, interesting old farm gate, the girls mooching around, of course ... and the angle of late afternoon light here can be wonderful to play with too.
But this fence ! It really had me stumped.
Been trying to get a nice pic of it for months, to show how high the paddock grasses were caught up in the wire from the last flood.
We had an unseasonal Autumn deluge back in about last April, so you can imagine how much was caught up on it back then.
These are the 2nd & 3rd wires off the ground, about hip high on me.
Which may not mean much until I tell you that we are not down in a small gully here, but out in open country, surrounded by expansive paddocks, which all go under water.
But before that can happen, beyond the fence is a very deep drop of about 30 - 40 feet down to the stream, and the same in width, so that all has to fill up first.
The surge of run off from the nearby mountains was strong enough to take a huge chunk of the emabankment with it this time, and completely wash it away, leaving a black clay cliff face and a few tall gums still standing wonky down at the water's edge, 20 ft from where they originally grew.
I was playing around with more settings, capturing the backlit grasses, so decided to try it out on the fence - one more go, I said - and bingo, finally scored one I liked.
Taken with macro setting, for shooting with a macro converter, but used zoom lens instead.
sooc..
