EXPLORING THE OVERBERG

Every year I take a day trip, through the Overberg to photograph the winter scenes of bright yellow canola fields nestled amongst luminous green wheat or a few weeks later, the lines and contours of the freshly harvested land. We started this last escapade to reach the area at sunrise and in stead of the usual mist lingering at the bottom of the Elgin valley, we were blessed with fresh, very clear vistas stretching silently in warm light. It is the comfort of these well know scenes and the pleasure it gives me to discover them in different weather conditions I find so appealing.
