This is part of the new artwork in Horsham- taken at night using town lighting and then some post processing photoshop to sharpen detail and correct colours (the street lights caused huge headaches). The cockatoo was especially challenging due to the fence in front- thankfully I saw someone using the small hole in the gate to get a full length shot!

The artwork was completed by Smug (Sam Bates)-  is titled The Yangga Dyata which means 'Walking on Country', and celebrates "the significant story of Yanggendyinanyuk a Wotjobaluk warrior's story of leadership, resilience and significant legacy"-Michelle Caswell/ article credit Horsham Rural City Council.

This was done for the council by Mongolian muralist Heesco Khosnaran- reflecting the historical connection through a grain farmer and a shearer. Was lucky to get this shoot before the clouds came over

Passed through Gunnedah in April 2021 and snapped this beautiful piece of now famous silo art by Heesco. The artwork also depicts an extract from Dorothea Mackellar's famous poem "My Country". Based in the middle of the town I have created a composite of two images, the silo with what a rising milky way core would look like as a backdrop. The moonlight proved a good lighting alternative for the silos.

This work was painted by Heesco Khosnaran in March 2019. The artwork represents the contemporary farming industry and landscape of the Weddin Shire. 

Artwork by Fintan Magee. It's a series of three images of a water diviner searching for water. It was painted in 2019 during what had been one of the worst droughts on record.

Perth muralist Brenton See painted the region’s western bearded lizard, mallee fowl, thigh spotted tree frog and red-tailed phascogale onto the Newdegate CBH Group silos.

The impressive 10 silo structure at Northam. This had its challenges given its size and the artwork being placed at both ends. Certainly pushed my remote triggers with distance from one end to the other.

These silos are 38m high. The two artworks were completed in April 2015-one by London artist Phlegm and the other by Atlanta native HENSE.

 At one end Phlegm painted whimsical characters in fantastical transportation devices. At the other end HENSE painted abstract patterns in explosive blocks of fluoro colour, characteristic of his style.

Merredin and the massive silos painted by urban artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers. His work depicts life in Merredin in three forms- the natural environment in the colours, the diverse community through the artwork’s abstract forms and figures and its landforms and agricultural history in the symbols.

Unfortunately the sky had clouded over somewhat which required a little creativity to really highlight this work. The crescent moon behind the silos was a great help.

Must admit I have had a mixed reaction to this- some locals love it (the artwork), others are not so positive. 

The artwork depics one of the great aquatic discoveries, the Ruby Seadragon and was painted by Yok and Sheryo in March 2018,

The flood light on one side provided the opportunity for a little more creativity with a nice backlit effect! The silos are painted on both sides. On the floodlight side you need to shoot from a lower point and the fence limits how far back you can go!
