"the grass in the paddock is brown"

a line from an Australian Christmas carol. So different from all the snow scenes of the northern hemisphere

It really is a stark contrast. Some of my friends in the northern hemisphere can't imagine it being summer during Christmas.

Great contrast

I am used to seeing hills like this in NZ but you're right our fields are very green at the moment but they are very wet!

Nice landscape. It would be unusual to have such a warm Christmas - our temperatures are unseasonably warm right now too, we're hoping for some snow to stay.

It is quite different, but a nicely captured scene, I think.

It's so different for my neck of the woods, but it's not like that in every state. The southwest stays fairly "warm" throughout the winter. Pretty shot!

Love it!!

@olivetreeann I see this hill everytime I go down the winding road into the city from up in the hills where we live and finally found the opportunity to stop and get a photo. It looks lovely when its all green too but we wont see that now till about April

@suklassen I look forward to seeing some snowy pics from your side of the world
