This picture is a follow up to this post on walking along Depledge Rd in Waitpinga in May 2022.
The above picture was made on an early morning walk in late May 2022. It is a close-up interpretation of this picture, and it was made with a 10 year old digital camera. There is a b+w interpretation made with a 60 year old film camera.
The hanging bark along Depledge Rd no longer exists. The gale force winter winds tore it to shreds.
A photo of some roadside vegetation along Depledge Rd in Waitpinga in early May 2022. The photo was made in the early morning on a poodlewalk, just as the sun's rays illuminated the vegetation:
During May Kayla and I usually walked along this road prior to sunrise, then we go into the bushland 5 minutes or so after sunrise. We timed the walk so awe were by the tree when it was illuminated by the early morning light.
On some of the recent early morning poodlewalks with Kayla I have been wandering in the local bushland in Waitpinga. I was scouting and scoping for some possibilities for a large format photo session. I am looking for something simple and basic that can done in the early morning during the summer months. Early in this context means no later than half an hour after sunrise.
This is one possibility that I came across:
However, I'm not sure that I could find this particular trunk and branch again. I will need to spend time looking for it and if I find it, then laying a trail to guide me back to it.

It has been 3-4months since I've walked through the local bushland. I went back yesterday morning to avoid the gale force south westerly winds. I noticed that the native orchids were in flower. During this time I have been reading Photography and Place: Australian landscape Photography 1970 untill now , which is a pdf of an exhibition curated by Judy Annear, Art Gallery NSW in 2011.
