Trees

That's it, nothing more, nothing less :)

The Melbourne Cup ran here today... you know... "the race that stops the nation" and I can't believe I didn't even have a bet or part in a sweep. I still chose a horse and it didn't win, so I saved myself some money didn't I? Sadly, one of the horses collapsed and died after the race.

Thanks so much for putting my Double Dragonflies on the PP!!

Love the simplicity and desolation in this image. Congrats on your double dragonfly image.

[Sam]

Gorgeous simplicity :) FAV

[Rachel]

Very nice and stark. I am wondering if they might look good as just the bottom third of the photo, but just an idea. I like them this way too!

[Suse♡]

There´s such a appeal in simplicity, just trees & nothing else.

[Nicole Campbell]

I got first in the sweep and second and third at the TAB, I hadn't heard that one of the horses died, that is really sad

[Sheralee S]

@888rachel I considered that too Rachel, I think I probably needed a bit of interest in the sky to leave like this... maybe a nice little cloud or something... mmm, maybe I could find one ;-)

[Sheralee S]

@nicolecampbell Yeah, that sort of put a bit of a dampener on things I think. Congrats on your wins though Nicole, that's fantastic!

[Babs]

Love the starkness of this shot. It does look very dry.

[Nicole Campbell]

@bella_ss - it is the only time of year I bet. I doubled my money so I was happy :)

[Joan Robillard]

So sad to read about the horse who did not make it. It's a wonderful scene, and like Amanda, made me think of Sean's work.

[Jane Morley]

We were in Melbourne at cup day once. We didn't go to the races but I remember the outfits! Love your line of trees. A photo I could easily put up on our wall!

[Gerry]

Fav a lovely shot

Simple and effective shot Sheralee. Sad to hear about the poor horse.

[Sheralee S]

@amandal @taffy I really admire @seanoneill 's style, so thank you so much for that compliment!

[Leah]

Love your tree line!!! Simple but very creative and effective!!! Sorry about the horse that died after the race!!!

[Tammy]

Love the simpleness of this. Beautiful!

[Andrew S]

They had to put down a second horse today - very sad. This area looks very parched.

[bkb in the city]

nice shot

[alia_801]

Lovely pic of the beautiful trees. I refuse to have anything to do with that stupid race - three horses have died in the last two years - too sad :(

[Dione Giorgio]

I think I may have seen the race on tv. I didn't catch it from the beginning but I heard that one of the horses collapsed. At least you didn't lose money. Beautiful shot. Love the mood and the line of trees.

[Pam]

I love those trees!! I was really sad to hear the news coming from the Melbourne cup.

[Sheralee S]

@tomtom I heard about that one, that was a bit of a freak accident, still sad though.

[tony gig]

Amazing capture...Fav

[Lisa Stein]

What a stark scene. How sad about the horse. This photo matches the mood of your narrative well.

[Poppo Livy]

I'm a conscientious objector to the Melbourne Cup. Couldn't give a rats. Nice shot Sheralee
