Many of you will have seen on the news the big fires here in Victoria this week. This one has come a bit too close for comfort and people have lost their homes, property and livestock, so thoughts to them. They say the fires will continue for maybe up to another 6 weeks and we have to be vigilant with wind changes. This shot, taken at the rear of Hanging Rock (see previous post), was winging it – handheld as no time to set up a tripod and the sun more or less already set, but it shows the heavy smoke layer around….

That movie Picnic at Hanging Rock, still gives me shivers when I think of it.
Funny you should mention it – set on Valentine’s Day and they always have an outdoor screening at The Rock on the day, but I wonder what they will do this year with the smoke?
Beauty in devastation – wishing everyone safety and some moisture from above.
Thank you – slight chance of maybe some drizzle tomorrow and day after. Hope so 🙂
Beautiful light and the haze really adds to the atmosphere. Hope you stay safe and the rain comes.
Thanks Beth – everything has eased thanks to cooler weather, though no rain.
Beautifully captured with the smoke haze. Somewhat ghostly atmosphere, but love it.
