I don’t think much about destinations. If I’m headed somewhere I start to think about taking photos the moment I walk out the door. On this day, I was on my way to the National Park at Lake Saint Clair, about 45 mins drive. Only 15 mins from home this scene appeared on my left.The fallen tree was hard to miss just metres from the roadway. Stopping at these places may be problematic if there is no shoulder or you’re on a bend. If you’re serious about photography (and not lazy), you make the effort. Sometimes these images are better than what you might get at your ‘destination’. In these types of locations I drive very slowly, pull over often and do a lot of looking. I’ll frequently move off the road to allow cars following me to pass. I make my own pace. Mt Roland in the background. Photo taken with Olympus EM5 12-40mm 2.8.
