The light is different here. In the fields and forests around me in Ireland I am mostly under muted grey skies, downright dark grey skies and bleached out light grey skies. (I won’t even start about the rain!)
Here in Australia while the sun is clear and strong, it is gone by 5.30, so from early afternoon shadows grow long and people move in and out of darkness. Everything flickers. The huge trees filter the changing light, and then suddenly it’s dark.
I know there are so many iconic sights I could share today but instead I find myself looking at the light, seeking the light, forever mooching around in the small shadowy stuff. It’s where I breathe…..

Magical pictures with the light and the shadows. First one is real magic with these colours and the strange shadows.

This, I think, is an eye trained in the Northern hemisphere! Beautiful.

Your pictures show your fascination with that new, nuance-rich light. Wonderful atmospheric pictures. Love the tree trunk with the shadow of another tree on it.

What gorgeous studies in shadow and light. It's amazing – isn't it? – how different the light is in different parts of the world. Beautiful!

Lovely shadows…I understand how we become addicted to the light and need it….fabulous how we will take even a few hours and minutes.

Yes, the light is different there but when the sun shines in Ireland is magical! I love spring skies in Ireland.

so much colour and texture in that first photo. We, have to work carefully around midday light which is too harsh for the camera.
