On my day out to Castlemaine, we stopped at a couple of places along the way, and one of those places was Taradale.
Taradale is a small town with a population of 448 according to Wikipedia. I used to drive through this town all the time when I went to my mum’s, but since the Calder Freeway was built, I don’t go through it anymore. That is, unless I want to go there.
I’ve been back to take photos, but only of the railway viaduct. However, as we were driving out, I did wonder if I had missed some things that would be good to take photos of there. I might have to give it a good visit soon.
The construction on the Railway Viaduct began in 1858 and was completed in 1862. While there is no longer a train station at Taradale, the Viaduct is still used as it forms the main line between Bendigo and Melbourne. I suspect when I lived up around Swan Hill when I was a young adult when I caught the train to Melbourne, I probably went over this many times and had no idea.
I used the infrared camera there, and I also used my other camera. I might do most of the same photos that were done in colour for you tomorrow as a Silent Sunday post. I don’t have them all in colour, but a few of them. I might see if I can find some of my older images as well.
I like these, but I would love to see how different it is in spring, maybe I need to go back.
I have not been here for many years. Thanks for sharing.
No problem Peter, maybe you need to revisit.
I like that effect from the infrared.
Me too, thank you.
Interesting!
Thanks Sue.
Beautiful photos
Thank you.
I love Castlemaine and have been there a few times. But I should visit this place next, great captures as usual Leanne.
Castlemaine is gorgeous, have you been to Malmsbury as well Teresa, both on the same road to Castlemaine from here. Thank you Teresa.
Wow, 448 people. The last place my parents lived had half that, but at that size it doesn’t matter. That’s rural !
Yeah, the town my mum lives in has 191, still this place is still very small. That is definitely rural, thank you Ted.
What a striking place for a spot of dramatic photography.
It is a good spot, been there a few times now. Thank you Margaret.
A small town with big wonders 🙂
That’s for sure Hammad, thank you.
Great depth. Infrared is a genre I’m interested in but haven’t had the budget yet. All very they’re eventually. The contrast and details in lo light shown with this tech is awesome.😊
Thank you Mike. It took me a while to get my own, but so glad I did.
Nice B&W Image.
Thank you Les.
