The Year of the January Green






This Never Happens. I'm not exaggerating. Am searching my memory for any other year in which the South Australian landscape was green as County Cork in January, ten days after the summer solstice ... and I can't remember any other time. 

This never happens. Except, apparently, in an El Nino year with some weird dipole values and a heck of a lot of monsoonal activity in the north and east. Put it all together, and you get a cool, sometimes misty, and rather wet summer for us, which translates directly into ... green. And I like it. A lot. These images were all captured after New Year, and as far apart as McLaren Vale and the Flinders Ranges. Green!!!
