Magpie serenading the setting sun

This little guy was really going for it as I was shooting the sunset yesterday..... I found the scene very iconic and Australian.

He was on a building site and I tried to chase him away from the metal pole but he wasn't having any of it!!!

Just for interest sake...this is the full scene

Wonderfully Australian. Is that the view from your place? I've heard that your area is one of the top-rated places to visit

HI Birdgirl, I wish it was the view from my house, but unfortunately it is the view from the top of the hill behind me. I drive past it every day on my way to and from here. I was coming back from the outing with Andy and saw the sunset building up in a clear sky from the other side of Buderim so I knew I would be able to get something from this half built building! Hope they never build on it as it makes a great lookout the way it is!

Very iconic Birdie. Love the brightness of the maggie in contrast with the gentle colours in the background.

Cheers, Owen.

Thanks aa, the colours were all as I saw them except for the top image and I admit to adding a little filter to the top half of the sky for effect. It was a beautiful sky .
