I’ve Found the “Gold”
Posted by mervfrench on September 6, 2011
Well this is all the gold I can find at the moment … Canola Gold.
It is everywhere at present and unlike the gold at the end of the rainbow this is not hard to find.
This was taken out the back of Meckering. i thought this looked like a nice simple composition.
Another week and the Canola will be stating to be past it’s best.
I was just putting this up when the “ping ” come thru that Mark had just posted a canola shot as well.
Canola is the current flavour it seems.

Hey Merv, that’s really cool. You also captured some perfect ‘Simpsons’ clouds.
mervfrench said

True North Mark said

Yes I guess they are now you mention it.
But i would never had thought of that …… maybe I need to get a life.
Flemming Bo Jensen said
It is imperative that one watches every cult movie and TV-show so that one can pepper conversations with off-the-cuff remarks about Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, Blade Runner, Alien etc. Only then shall you achieve true geek status, very life enriching. Geeks rule the world.

Very nice Merv, yes its Canola gold…its very nice driving in the country at the moment. I think I will have to go up and take some from the air because the colours of the green and yellow are just amazing and I reckon it might look really cool from the air.
mervfrench said
Peta i’ve seen it from the air and its not all that vivid . Well not from directly above. looking directly down on it it is thin compared to looking across it at ground level so it’s not nearly as yellow.

Thats a shame as I thought that it would look good with the green and yellow paddocks….

Love, love, LOVE this photo Merv! My heart nearly stopped for a moment (lover of color that I am). Such a beautiful shot. No “gold” ’round these parts but we do have a lot of brown and green.
