I normally don’t mess with the colours this heavily, but this was after dark, shot on a 3 second exposure. There’s no such thing as naturalistic colours…

Most of the apple orchards around Orange, once the major growing region in Australia, have been converted into vineyards, or in the case of Mayfarm Flowers, a flower farm. Their crop of apples from the doomed trees was storm damaged in 2019, and so they opened them up for picking, with most of the apples being shipped to Sydney for donation, and pickers allowed to take away others for free.
Not as dry by far as it was to get later. Impending doom is the fashion in New South Wales and has been for a while. (There’s been good rain this winter, in the plague year.)
Not fires, those came months later. A sunset backlighting rain.
Not shown, “no but seriously, stop asking questions, take the kids outside, and look west!” phone call.
