Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
Sunrise over the Ottauquechee River near Woodstock, Vermont. The Ottauquechee River is a river in eastern Vermont and is a tributary of the Connecticut River, which flows to Long Island Sound.
The sun rises over this typical farm at Turners Marsh in northern Tasmania. From where I took this shot you can easily work out that I am facing north as the sun streams in from the east. Only the animals have stirred so far, but soon the daily activities will begin in farm life.

At this stage in the early morning the mist was still clearing from the tops of the trees. Nothing dramatic was happening with the sunlight, but that was to change (as you'll see tomorrow). Those rolling hills provided rich pastures for the grazing cattle. They'd already been out there from before dawn. The rhythm of life continues at a steady pace.
The sharp decline in the buffalo population has caused people to shift from buffalo rearing to other professions such as salt cultivation, day labour and fishing.

Thank you to all who comment and/or fave my photos, it is much appreciated.
This is part of the Avoca line that operates solely to transport coal from the Fingal Valley. TasRail has not operated passenger trains in Tasmania since 1978. It exists entirely as a freight transport network. It is a single line narrow gauge rail system (1067mm, 42 inches).
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers. On a Sunday drive in Peak Crossing country with the peaks in the background; shot on a visit to Marie's place from her back door. The title is also an old Australian saying, if you have "a few roos loose in the top paddock", it means you are a bit mad.

In the previous photograph I described how I came to this location at Turners Marsh. The challenge now was to try to capture the moonlight. It was especially tricky because the first rays of the rising sun were just being felt over the back of my left shoulder. Sheep were grazing in the paddocks (you'll see them more closely tomorrow as these curious creatures soon came up to me), and the only sound was the birdsong as they greeted the new day.
It was cold of course, but my heart was warmed. And I set about finding the right exposure. This was critical because what I wanted most was an accurate depiction of the landscape under that light. And more than that, I wanted to capture the moon without blowing it out completely. I wanted the moon as a real disk in the sky with minimal blur.
Taking a photo is half the problem, processing it is just as critical. My own landscape aesthetic, which I can trace to one particular photograph, "The Waterhole" (link below), is to capture nature as accurately as I can - it is beautiful enough - and God strike me dead if I ever choose to use a fake sky or some other method of digital manipulation to create a "chocolate box" scene. But that's just me. If I wanted a painterly image I'd paint. Photography allows us to see the world as it really is.
