GOLD. Always believe in your soul. You've got the power to know, you're indestructible.


Some time ago I posted a similar shot, taken at a similar time, of who I think are the same pair. The difference is of course in the colour. Maybe someone of a more scientific bent can explain to me why this morning displayed a golden hue, and the previous shot was of a pinkish tendency.

Now, I happen to like today's photo a little bit more than the one of a month ago. Now I want to know which one you like better?

Why?

The clouds never look quite real at this time of year, do they? Like a giant painted background for a film set.

Like.

I think low intensity burns for forestry & fuel reduction purposes help our sunsets during autumn/winter - you never see the Hazards at Freycinet looking as pink as the postcards would have you believe outside of the fire-permit-free period...

I like this one better because of the dramatic clouds.

I don't have the pink answer but I love this photo. I wonder,.. the trees on the ridge seem sparce. Was that the result of a fire, or they're Eukes or ?

Just stopped by to say hello - I prefer today's photo because of its colour.

I do believe I like the original post, if only for clarity of purpose.
The blues also seem more subtle.

I sometimes wonder if it is just the computer screen. This one really had a lot of pink and almost no gold. So maybe I should check out my other computer screen and see if it is different.

God bless.

Missed the one month ago but I really like this one. I can almost hear the water lapping and the wind a whisperin'.

This one is warm and cozy - I like it.

Stop using the Photoshop - here I reversed this photo back to original pink atmosphere:D:D:D http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/4250/havingapaddle.jpg

You know I did not mean it - about the photoshop?

Me, we’d get some great shots if they didn’t do the fuel reduction burns!
Kris McCracken said…
Pasadenaadjacent.com, they’d be eucalypts, and it’s all former farmland I think.
Kris McCracken said…
Sandra, I must be right!
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, trust you to be contrarian!
Kris McCracken said…
Mrsupole, my work screen is slightly different to my home one. Something about the orange that I can’t quite match.
Kris McCracken said…
Ronda, it was very still both mornings.
Kris McCracken said…
Aigars, I don’t think that I used PS with this one. It was the far more pissy Microsoft Picture Manager.
Kris McCracken said…
Aigars, it’s that cruel Latvian humour! ;)

Kārlis Padegs was famous for it!

Can't find the other shot but love this one...the lines on the water in particular...
Kris McCracken said…
Chrissy, click the link and that will get you there!
Kitty said…
hm. I like this one better, too.
There's more contrast to it, more zing.

I'm not sure why the colors change. Probably has to do with the sunrise.

Sorry

Well, I appreciate you know Mr Padegs more than I do:)

Kitty, refraction of light, that's all I know!

Aigars, poor Padegs!

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...
