South East Queensland: Winter

South East Queensland.

It's very name usually brings on a reminiscence of times' past, the years in which I was growing up where we experienced some of the wildest weather I've ever seen. Regrettably that was before I began photographing, but it was those days that really gave me a love of my local area and the treasures within it that I was yet to discover.

My favourite season to experience the great South-East is undeniably Winter. For all the reasons that summer is not, Winter is the perfect mix of our often-stifling heat which is toned down significantly. Some will no doubt be shocked to hear that I don't love summer for its storms, which don't get me wrong, I do love- but guaranteed fogs, the gentle mists and the bushlands around here, just can't be beat.

There's something lovely about getting up early and venturing out into the stillness of night, cool fogs draping themselves over roads, into valleys and then waiting to see what the sun does with it. I've gotten my best shots of the region in winter...

See for yourself... All of these images are taken within a 100km radius of each other, where the mysterious light does magical things; you only need to be there to see it!
