Rebirth of the cool

Posted by Sash (Adelaide, Australia) on 23 June 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

My creativity has been misdirected of late; I blame the weather and a serious lack of motivation. I also cite a constant and irrefutable craving for procrastination as the key benefactors of this wo-oh-oh sweet mood o' mine.

That not withstanding, here begins the beginning of a new beginning, which is also referred to as a new start or a rebirth, depending on which scribe or scholar one happens to be drinking with. I am referring, without hyperbole, to the most brilliant comeback in photographic context since someone somewhere at some stage in time did something memorable after having done next to nothing for a substantial amount of time.*

Apart from the garble: This photo was taken on a farm on the outskirts of Mount Gambier, a quaint and charming backwater town in the south-eastern expanse of this state I call South Australia. It was taken looking skyward with the assistance of a tripod thanks in part to an overcast sky. It was also a rather frigid afternoon and, therefore, wouldn't have been smart of me to expose sensitive digits to the elements. Suffice to say, sanity prevailed yet again.

Hooray for everything!


PS Apologies for not having been around of late. If all goes to plan there'll be more updates on more subjects we all love to gawk at; on a more regular basis with a more regulatory sense of clarity. Cheers and well wishes from mine to yours.
