Far Away

While we travelled along the Australian east coast in 2007 we always enjoyed the endless roads and the vastness of the landscape. Often we've seen so different places then we have in Europe. The roads seems to go forever into the horizon and the colors and light were magic.

This is a good example of such views. While it may seem common to any Australian it is an unusual sight for us. And we didn't have to drive off the highway that much, this is just a side-road leading to a farmers land. The red of the soil, the green grass and the bright blue sky made for some gorgeous scenery.

There are more photos of this kind I'll show you. Although they all have roads running to a vanishing point they are still different. Australia is a great country for travellers, no doubt.

Waiting

While walking through a small village in rural Nepal I saw a group of children playing in the street. This girl was sitting and watching, I thought she was waiting for something, maybe for her turn in the ongoing game. As I passed her I took this image, already noticing the great light on her face.

It was late afternoon and the sun was low over the horizon. The light was gorgeous and it works very well in the result. I also like the color tones and the facade made of bricks. Again this is a shot unplanned and the best image of that day. I think I have to try street photography more oftern...
