I took a shot from this same vantage point 6 months ago, back in June....it was much greener back then, although it did get even greener in September when we had heaps of flooding rains (I should have gone back in Sept to get a shot, eh!).
So as you can see, it is not so green now & starting to look quite dry, which means we are well on the way to another Aussie summer of hot temps & dry paddocks....and it's only the 2nd day of summer :-/
About the only thing the same in both shots is they were both taken on cloudy days.
