Thanx Kristine,
NSW South Coast - inland from Kiama, I think it was called the Saddle Back ranges, very very high up, with great views up and down the coast.

This was the view

From the top, using the 70-300mm G lens..looking down onto Kiama and the blow hole...a bit hazy on that day but still nice to look at I thought..

I like the one with the two trees and the two boulders. It's almost the classic 'B&W tree on the hill' shot. :)

I don't like the cow though. Probably because i am a vegetarian. Cows smell. The photo looks alright though.

:)

Thanks for showing.
Steve

Yep, and they sizzle too, and by crikey, they go well with a cab sav.

And maybe some bernaise.

Killakoala doesn't drink milk either, but he does talk in the 3rd person.

Holsteiner or Fresian

That cow is a Holsteiner or Fresian.
You would associate it with milk, butter and cheese.
You don't bbq them !

Personally I love the cow shot. A bit of fill flash to soften the ear shadow and the old girl couldn't look much better :lol:

I like the cow too, but I wish the background was a little more blurred, and the dark part a little darker.

The trees are great looking.
