Not long after I took the photograph of this scene that I posted yesterday, the sun came over the horizon. This is the result. I'm not feeling very patriotic at the moment*, but one can't help but see the traditional Australian colour of the wattle here: Green and gold.
* Those of you who have seen the news footage overseas that many Australians have been denied from seeing by our puppet media in this country will understand exactly what I'm saying. Frankly we're all sick of it.

Reflections on Llyn Mwyngil/Talyllyn lake, Eryri/Snowdonia, Gwynedd, Cymru/Wales, UK
Llyn Mwyngil also known as Talyllyn Lake is a large glacial ribbon lake in Gwynedd, North Wales. It is formed by a post-glacial massive landslip damming up the lake within the glaciated valley. The hamlet of Talyllyn lies at the west end of the lake.
Llyn Mwyngil is situated to the north of Machynlleth, at the foot of Cader Idris, in the Snowdonia mountain range of Gwynedd, Wales. The River Dysynni flows from the lake, through the village of Abergynolwyn, and discharges into the sea north of Tywyn.
[Please enlarge and look around the landscape. It will make you homesick even if you've never been here before.]
At Marrawah on Tasmania's north west coast we come across the richest farmland in the country. The green you see here is exactly as it appears. The annual average rainfall in this part of the world is 1092.2 mm.
It is also said that Cape Grim in the top centre of this landscape has the cleanest measured air in the world. The winds that blow across the southern ocean have travelled over no landfall for over 16,000 kms. It is fresh, and the rainwater here is the cleanest imaginable. www.capegrim.com.au/
It's no wonder that Cape Grim Beef is also sought after by restaurants all over the world looking for grass fed and unstressed beef cattle. www.capegrimbeef.com.au/

Notwithstanding the pandemic, photographers were all over the gorge this year. Busloads of them. Beautiful place to be in any case.
Given the elements in the composition this photo could have worked as well in monochrome. But I liked the soft colours and the way it picked up the dry paddocks in which this grand tree sits.
On the day I took these photographs it was raining on and off. That made for very interesting atmospheric shots. I love clouds in the sky because they convey a mood so easily.
The moment I drove up to this corner I was truck by the tree. The very tree that had obviously at some point a while ago been struck by lightning. You can see that by the damage that has been done to the top and the fact that the tree has been killed completely. The other interesting factor is the way this skeletal tree's branches have taken on the form of lightning itself. Have a closer look.
This tree makes a fitting centrepoint to the composition as the road draws us around the corner to what might be.
