]]> Local Mullumbimby-ite, Richard Weakley, took this atmospheric shot which sums up the almost wistful beauty of our Northern Rivers area at the moment.  “I shot this wonderful moment of rain clouds bursting on Koojum Range just behind my house,” he says.  “I sat and watched while it crept closer and closer, until finally the heavens opened.  The rain at this time of year brings some relief from the heat so I for one enjoyed our Saturday afternoon drenching.”

The Northern Rivers is not called the Rainbow Region for nothing. Local Cooper’s Shoot resident and wordsmith Jeff Sampson was head down concentrating on whipper-snippering when his daughter alerted him to this double beauty.  “I was unaware of the scene from Avatar coalescing out of the clouds behind me,” he says, “but fortunately, my daughter came out of the house and suggested I turn and take in the big picture. It looked like it had been art directed. The old leafless elm in the front yard, still a little tentative after a lightning strike some time ago, seemed to be tickling the light that formed a snowdome around it.  Beyond its light loom, an abashed blue filled the rest of the frame. The weeds could wait. The photo was taken, the ephemera fixed in modern amber, on my phone.”  Poetry in motion.

When photographer Andrew Sooby was at the Tweed Regional Art Gallery recently, the moody weather prompted him to catch this atmospheric shot of Wollumbin, (Mount Warning) near Murwillumbah.  “The storm was out there,” says Sooby, “and it was a perfect moment to capture it.”

Andrew Sooby used a Fuji XE2; lens at 300mm (35mm equiv); 1/1600 sec; f11; ISO 200.
