Morning light – views from a rural highway.

When one is driving a rural highway at daybreak and the light does this, one must find a spot to pull over and take a snap

Gostwyck Chapel, NSW.

Posted on May 10, 2018 by Andrew McInnes Photography

When your heavily pregnant wife reckons she wants to go on an overnight camping photo-shoot adventure with you, even though the forecast is 3 degrees C overnight where you are going, then you drive more than 7 hours, arrive after dusk, do a little photographing, climb into the swag, then wake up in the morning and you get this
To top it off, this was a Sunday morning, so the sound of the church organ wafting through the fog and morning light was a lovely addition to the morning.

This is Gostwyck Chapel, near Uralla in the New England Region of NSW.
