Winter camping may be cold but the clear nights and milky way make it worth it. This was a quick weekend away to a property hidden in the Capertee Valley. A good excuse to capture the world above us.
I love the escarpment that makes up this unique slice of countryside. Someone told me that the valley is longer than the Grand Canyon. Now i will admit it is not as awe inspiring (check my photos out here ), it has it own majesty that lights up especially in the late afternoon light.
While the mountains are the first thing the camera turns too, it does not take me long to return to those images that tell a story of our relationship with the land.
There are also surprises, including this tree which has been painted blue in support of mental health. A timely reminder as those on the land do it tough putting up with natures constant challenges.
When you get away from the bright lights of the ‘big smoke’, and darkness settles over the fields, it is amazing how the night sky fills with a chandelier of million stars.
