A Magical Valley

This is a simple roadside snapshot looking over the eastern end of the Piccadilly Valley, South Australia. This whole area is one of the most picturesque and fertile spots in the ranges, a high valley lying east of Mt Lofty, and in its western parts, over toward Summertown and Uraidla, home to market gardens and vineyards. This photo was taken in the late afternoon of June 3^rd, 2018, and one might be forgiven for thinking this was Europe, rather than the Antipodes. Imported northern species mingle with the native flora in the cool of altitude and the damp of early winter, creating a spot with an undeniable magic. Fuji FinePix S5600, automatic. Image by Mike.
