Campsite gum trees do their best to obscure the Milky Way at Glen Davis, NSW.

When I took this shot it was pretty beautiful but also slightly eerie and creepy, I imagine witches meet here.
Happy Fog Friday!
A rural scene east northeast of the town of Capertee in New South Wales, Australia.
This spot is located in the Capertee Valley, about halfway along the road that connects Glen Davis with Glen Alice.
The Comet windmill is missing three blades and in front of the windmill is a cement block water tank that the windmill once filled, or maybe still does.
The electricity pole no longer supports any wire although a solitary insulator hangs down at the end of what little is left of the original wire.
Part of the Garden of Stone National Park can be seen behind the pole and the low branch of the tree is hiding the feature known as Pantoney's Crown. (Refer my photo 'Glen Alice')
The corrugated iron shed appears to be missing its door or maybe it never had one and, as the song "Love Shack" by the B-52's says - -"tin roof, rusted".
The foreground tree is a beautiful green and its foliage is frond like. Would appreciate if anyone knows the name of this tree.
The wooden fence is unusual, and it carries a strand or two of barbed wire hidden by the thick foreground grass.

This view reminded me of the colours and scenes favoured by the Heidelberg School artists. I'm sure they'd be horrified.
Ruins of Glen Davis Old Shale Works - from Glen Davis Lookout. From 1938, Glen Davis became the centre of a revival of the oil shale industry (the impending world war and high price and shortage of supply of oil made shale oil economical). Construction of the Glen Davis Oil Shale Works began in 1938 it first produced shale oil in January 1940. At its peak, the population of the nearby Glen Davis town reached approximately 2000. The works and the associated shale and coal mines were closed and abandoned in May 1952 because the works were no longer profitable.
Hey everybody! I have a new video out; youtu.be/t3j-ndRiCHk
In this video I talk about 'workflow' and my approach to that topic. I center the talk around my recent shoot at Glen Davis which involves a mix of portraiture and landscape.
Thanks for watching!

It's really difficult to get up close to Pantoney's Crown and get an unobstructed view to photograph it. This shot was taken from the side of the Glen Davis Road through a gap in the trees.
Coorongooba Campground, Wollemi National Park. The Capertee Valley in New South Wales, Australia, is the largest enclosed valley in the southern hemisphere and is noted to be the second widest of any canyon in the world, even exceeding The Grand Canyon.
Heavy rain has initiated resurgence of waterfalls that have not seen flow for some years in the Glen Davis gorge. Massive vertically jointed, horizontally bedded sandstones control the plateau margin topography.

I have edited amenities from this image. (Perhaps NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service ( www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au )
could consider the re-location of facilities at what could otherwise be an iconic Australian location?)
A White-winged Chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) reveals a small slash of white as it parades around our camp site at Glen Davis, NSW. The white is much more apparent in flight, especially in their beautiful swooping glides.

Title inspired by the Scottish duo Boards of Canada. There are rumors a new album is forthcoming, 8yrs since this last. Very exciting if true.
Happy Treemendous Tuesday!

“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”
