nice image Roger, the fog softens what is actually becoming harsh drought conditions, I recently drove from Maitland to Mount Morgan (33km inland from Rockhampton) via Moree, Goondiwindi and Miles, this is pretty much the colour of the scenery for the entire 1300km
it occurs to me that may be you and I are the only two who might have the vaguest clue of who is Mike McClellan

Probl?y a few things at work here John...given that the lens was fogged up to a degree and I shot thru the windscreen of the car the light that day was dead ordinary 7/8 cloud with fitful sun so things are drabbed down to a degree plus we are in a drought which has been going on for 18 months now so the landscape is pretty hunkered down sorta get the feelin it doesn?t want to talk to ya...then we are getting frosts 3-4 days a week ...and now into August which is our windy month in the valley the landscape is at an all time low.. just desiccated... its a long way from picture postcard the world is slipped to monochrome and seein as how I cant print like Owen O?Meara like all grade 2 I would be tempted to tweak the ?trast away from reality... that's not to say I don?t turn my back on reality ..I do that all the time.. but with landscape I kinda like to be true to the day

That's a really cool technique. You should try converting this one into a black and white for the heck of it to see if it bring out even more of the spookiness of the scene.
I've noticed in a lot of your landscape shots that the environment you are shooting in has a really odd feel. The places are both pretty and hostile at the same time. Black and white shots of these places might be the ticket.

Lovely landscape, i've used that fog technique before - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Theres a calendar project out there somewhere that could use this shot.
