Nilmini De Silva, First Light (Straight Shooter: Australian Landscape)

This image was taken in Gundagai recently, while camped at one of the tributaries of the Murrumbidgee River. I woke up with the sunrise and wandered off to find some autumn colour. Many of the leaves in the area had already fallen and my feet crunched through these dead leaves as I made my way here. Watching the golden light of the sunrise lighting up this scene was a special experience.
