Natural beauty

I am fortunate enough to see this view on a daily basis. The lush green wheat field with a field of canola in the background belies the fact that we have drought conditions and the dams are nearly empty.

Beautiful, those tantalising whispy clouds !!

[Diana]

Such a wonderful capture Sally, I love the sky too. Let's hope more rain is on the way today ;-)

[Liana Bull]

You can have some of our rain if that would help. Nice layers of colour in your lovely view.

[Margo]

Great view for you Hope you get more rain soon

[Issi Bannerman]

Just beautiful. Such lovely layers of colour.

[Anne]

What a fantastic view to have every day! Super shot, I love the colours and the layers to this. Thank you for my challenge for get pushed this week. I have been looking through your project - you have many stunning photos Sally, and are clearly a very technical and accomplished photographer. So my challenge to you this week is to find something that is out of context and shoot it in any way that you wish. If this does not appeal, please let me know! Have fun, Anne

Wonderful layers of colour - a perfectly stunning view. Is the drought an annual problem?

[Sally Ings]

@365anne Thanks Anne, I'm sure I can come up with something.

@jocasta no Joy it's not an annual problem. Over the last few years we have experienced a much lower than average rainfall. Sadly many people are not careful with their water usage and hence the outflow is much higher than the inflow!

Sorry to hear you're still in serious drought conditions. But I do love your view, could definitely live with that out my window.

[Rachel]

I hope it rains for you soon. When we were in Cape Town in December, it was dry then too. The view is stunning though.

Fabulous image. Yes, we are in need of good rain here too.
