nostalgic pleasures #4

The previous post entitled  Nostalgic Pleasures #3 gives the   background to  my  experiment in a minor key using 35mm expired Fuji Velvia 50 film  and a 1960's Zeiss-Ikon Contaflex Super SLR. The  picture  below was made whilst wandering  in the area around   Bunjils Cave adjacent to  the Grampians (Gariwerd) in Victoria  in the   late afternoon of spring.  

The photography that day was chance encounters in a rugged, harsh  and messy  landscape, which  had a history of being burnt from bushfires and with a probable future of becoming warmer and drier:  increasing dryness with more  hotter days  (greater than 35°C) whilst the spells of warmer temperatures will last longer. The climate models indicate that the temperatures will increase by  1.9°C----2.5°C by around mid-century.
