Vic Goldfields arent always shades of brown and grey..

[SteelPat]

Was driving past a worked gully and just had to take a photo. A little too much topsoil to detect successfully but the mullock heaps may be worth a look.

That's a great photo SteelPat that green is an amazing contrast to the trees. You should get a contrasting shot in summer from exactly the same spot.

Yeah i noticed the last two weeks around here that the back 40 (not really lol) has reallly burst into new growth and looks terrific after 6 months of dead grasses...

Nice pic SP...

No enhancement on the green? WYSIWYG photo?

 

[SteelPat]

Thats straight from the iphone to dropbox, size reduced and uploaded.

Got to love the bush , even if not detecting.

Fair enough mate, damn that's some seriously greened up ground. None like that in the GT though we have had some good rain in the last few weeks. I asked because I used to do photography years ago on film and noticed when I went digital that everything got outrageously enhanced. Sunsets went from earthly colours to looking like they were from Mars. Normal greens to lolly coloured greens. Most digital cams will do that and give BS tones and colour. Look good but not true "What You See Is What You Get" photo,s.

This is in the GT. The brilliance of the green is what made me stop and take the photo. It was like a bright green oasis in the middle of the normal dried out goldfields.

Water still flowing out through the old buried creekbed that became a surface gold producing spot that the old timers found and worked ,... greener because of its generous extra share of ground moisture finding its way along the buried creekbed after rain somehow ,... maybe a sign that there could be good gold in the hill at a deeper level unworked if the old fellas rushed off to somewhere better after just getting the easy stuff, could be worth more thought than just the wow photograph opportunity ! 8)
ps it could just be an old water race somewhere channeling the rain down a shallow shaft too, making a nice green spring soak of it all by the time it leaches out and gets sucked up by all the fresh vegetation.

Iv come across scenes like this in the bush and and it just takes your breath away.
One of the reasons i love prospecting.
Beautiful pic SteelPat.

You have to see it with your own eyes to appreciate the "scene".

 

[Solid Luck]

Looks awesome.
Hope you don't mind me posting some pics SteelPat.

Not as good shots but the green is there.

Wish I had of got some photos but didn't but there's fungi coming up in the gt that i'v never seen before . Some little ones only a few millimeter size that were bright yellow.

 

[SteelPat]

Thanks for sharing your pics Hard Luck. If anyone else has shots they want to share, feel free to post in this thread.

Here's a couple from a well known NSW goldfield.

Its not usually this green

No gold found this trip, but magic spot to camp.

Cheers,
Billy.

Nice photos Billy. It does seem a little strange when the goldfields are green. Just doesn't seem natural.

That looks so much like Australia.--Ahh luv it.
