Trees on a Hill

Description

Trees on a Hill, East Gresford, Hunter, NSW

Photographed in late afternoon in February near East Gresford in the Hunter Valley, Trees on a Hill captures a stand of mature eucalypts on a hilltop paddock as warm golden light catches their trunks and canopy against an approaching storm sky. Sandstone escarpments glow briefly through the atmospheric haze in the middle distance, while the green paddock in the foreground stretches toward the hill crest in the last of the afternoon light. The strong contrast between the warm foreground light and the cool blue-grey sky behind gives the image a charged, luminous quality that rewards larger print sizes — a natural choice for living spaces, dining rooms or any interior where the pastoral landscapes of the NSW Hunter Valley feel like home.
