If we aren't exploring the coastline, my husband and I head out west to explore the rural areas around us.
This particular day, we headed out to the Scenic Rim area of south east Queensland.
"The Scenic Rim region is a thriving rural paradise set in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and surrounded by world heritage listed national parks. Home to a population of more than 37,780, the region covers 4248sq km and is located an hour south of Brisbane and an hour inland from the Gold Coast. Known for its breathtaking scenery, it is a popular tourist destination offering visitors plenty to see and do. From its myriad of wineries and art galleries to expansive bushwalking tracks, state of the art equine facilities, growing rural communities and friendly country charm, the Scenic Rim region is a must see destination.
Its main towns are Beaudesert, Boonah, Rathdowney, Kooralbyn, Kalbar, Aratula, Canungra, Tamborine Mountain, Harrisville and Peak Crossing. The region's primary businesses are agricultural/horticultural production, the equine industry and tourism/ecotourism. The Scenic Rim region contains more than 30,000 hectares of parkland, including national parks and council controlled parks. The region also contains three dams: Lake Moogerah, Lake Maroon and Wyaralong Dam. Supported by a thriving economy, a farming industry and a vibrant arts community, the Scenic Rim has a strong community spirit and friendly locals."

I focused much of my photography during the day on "leading lines".
Except for this image, where I just loved the contrast of green & blues.
Linking up with these memes:

Hello Liz, beautiful landscapes and lovely skies. The title is perfect for your images. Have a happy day and week ahead!
Very nice use of lines - I think straight lines can be very powerful in landscapes.
