Never coming back from Blubberhead Road…..
The Steve Earle tune went round in my head as I drove down the muddy track to nowhere in Dover, deep in the south of Tasmania.
It was all part of our weekend away from the hustle of Lonnie and a chance to breathe a little.
Dover is a small village with a rich history and ample fodder for my trusty Canon, although as usual, never enough time to do justice.
It was 704am as my peepers focussed on the clock in our overnight room for the second time that morning and I decided that light would surely be my friend, if I forgot about an extended sleep in on our weekend adventure to the other end of the island.
It was a wee bit brisk as you would expect, with snow falling on higher ground later in the day, and the sky was a cycling spectrum of steel grey cloud, opaque rain, gentle blues, through orange and purples in patches of clear sky.
The light was amazing and I caught what I could, where I could.
I played with some fill flash and shot freehand with some higher than preferred ISO settings, but the experiment is all part of the excitement of the journey.
So enjoy the snapshot into our life as the weekend that was.
Bests,
Dave:)
Beautiful, love the rainbow shots and the pink water. Very envious that I was not there clicking away beside you. Well done my friend….
Great shots again Dave although I had to don an anorak and scarf while viewing them – the ambient temperature does come through the screen!
Thanks Brad. Of course the “3 elles” were on my side and I’m sure you were with me in spirit. It was funny actually cause we were chatting about rainbows on the way down and how we hadn’t seen any for yonks.
Next thing you know-rainbows.
We are going to chat about lotto tonight
Nice Warwick….I too was rugged up. I put a sloppy joe over my t-shirt to ward of the evil wind chill lol…
There was ample birdlife….all bones and feathers….they are hardy lil critters.
Even the sheep were hunkering down for an early nigh nighs.
There were pockets of brillant sunshine, but that all changed when I went down into the inky blackness of blubberhead road…….
