Barley is a big part of the local landscape here - and the ripening and harvest of the crop colours our world. This was taken before the cut, when the fields were a rich gold. And the lyrics of Sting's song fit so well:
"You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold"

Not long before sunset looking in the general direction of Mt Taranaki from Turoa skifield in Summer.
Will I see you give
more than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
As the days fly past
will we lose our grasp
or fuse it in the sun?
Somehow, people rarely seem to look at the time a photo was taken (even though Flickr shows it rather prominently now). So I thought it might be best to post all the photos of my sheep before the shearing at once. Usually I post with a delay of up to 2 months.
Before the sun shone directly on the water in the morning and outshone it, I "played" a bit with exposure times and details.
The water has such a high falling speed that 1/8 to 1/10 exposure time is sufficient to make it soft and yet with a certain movement.

Before the Battle
~Siegfried Sassoon - 1886-1967~
Music of whispering trees
Hushed by the broad-winged breeze
Where shaken water gleams;
And evening radiance falling
With reedy bird-notes calling.
O bear me safe through dark, you low-voiced streams.
I have no need to pray
That fear may pass away;
I scorn the growl and rumble of the fight
That summons me from cool
Silence of marsh and pool,
And yellow lilies islanded in light.
O river of stars and shadows, lead me through the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe she appears
Ready to lay down and sleep
Please don't believe your eyes
She has a storm in her chest
It brews in silence
And those who know her
Call her wild card
For she is most calm
Before the storm...

(Before the storm - 2)
On my last run of development I found this image. I figured I better better post it before winter came fully and it went in my archives.
I posted the digital version of this not long ago. I'm not sure which I like better!
Now that I got that out of the way, I better get out there and start taking photos of the snow so I am seasonally appropriate. I have no idea why I need to be...but I just do!
Take care all!!
