Kiandra goldfields in the Snowy Mountains of Australia. This is a deliberately dramatized image which was inspired by one of my exposure bracketing images. That image was very dark but had this whole "burnt" colour quality going on which I liked. I liked the way the shadow/dappling of the clouds echoes the hilly contours of the land. The land still shows much damage from the time of the goldrush even after a century. Still beautiful though.

Enjoy.

PS If you see it full size the darkness comes into balance and the detail in the cloud shadows becomes evident.
