As you can see the obsession with high country huts continues unabated. A crazy bike ride through a lightning storm with a blown tyre yielded a view of Witzes Hut that is hopefully evocative of the isolated and dramatic scene. Alone in the wilderness with nothing but thunder, torrential rain, and wild horses for company&#8230; the things us landscape photographers do!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Down south I returned to some favourite rock climbing locations at Mount Arapiles and Mount Macedon, not to climb, but to capture landscapes. Both images have a similar feel, having been shot very wide from the top of a cliff, but the difference in time of day and, of course, location serves up two varied moods.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly a local composition at Lake Eppalock came to life in the fading light of a retreating storm. This actually ended up being my pick for best image of the series, mainly because of its simplicity and separation from a lot of my other work. Being only a hop, skip and jump from home it goes to show, that you don&#8217;t necessarily need to travel vast distances to find amazing landscape photos.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does 2018 hold for my photography and our little family? We did have grand plans for a trip to Tassie, but in the interest of keeping costs down, we&#8217;ll instead be camping at Wilsons Promontory. With a bit of luck that adventure may produce an image or two, though even if it doesn&#8217;t the chance to share the great outdoors with those we love is always appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Once again thanks for reading and all the best for a wonderful new year! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Christmas nearly upon us for another year, I feel the need to present my final images of 2017.
