I really like to see this sort of autumn light where the sun is low enough light some parts of a scene and not others. I feel that I could walk into that image: the grass would be slightly damp, the sun a little warm but it would be decidedly cooler in the shade. It’s lovely.
Colin, we definitely had a very warm (and dry) November over here, and that made wandering through the pastures very attractive – especially as due to temperature inversion the valley was grey and dreary. And now in these short days the sun is low enough to provide a soft light, ideal to make use of backlight situations as this one.
I know you read Mike Johnson’s blog, and I’m sure you realize how his aesthetic and yours are very similar. And that isn’t bad, mind you,. it’s great. But I thought of that when I went to your blog today after having read Mike’s comments about the print offering he’s organizing using reader’s images.
Breathtaking!
Thanks, Martha! It probably is a completely different situation from what you experience in the Australian summer!

Chris, thanks for the pat on the back! It came just at the right moment – just see my post about my epic failure!
