Looking up
Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 22 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
On my walk yesterday over to Godley Head I just looked up, instead of concentrating on the rugged path recently washed away by the storm the other day. I saw the beautiful clouds against the parched grassland with a sprinkling of red as the hardy succulents survive all!!!
Ahhh Nature:-)

nicely spotted, great image the contrast of colors and the slight diagonal give the edge. Love the detail in the grassland.

Lovely rich saturated colours. Well spotted. I'd have probably walked passed and missed the opportunity.

So pretty... hope you didn't fall... wish I had 'mountains' or even a few hills around here in Florida to climb... I could climb a very small sand dune... hehehe

Wonderfully appealing combo of colors, those crisp earth tones and that vibrant blue above. Humans aren't known for looking up, but I'm sure glad you sure do... and so frequently. As always, thanks for sharing, C!
