They Were Come

"They were come to the Desolation of the Dragon, and they were come in the waning of the year."

- J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Near our hospital there is a large bit of land and bush. Correction: there was. Now it's being cleared and felled, and turned into an enormous housing estate. I know people need somewhere to live (and our Local Government Area is the fastest growing in the country), but this sort of carving into the land always makes me sad.

This is the result of 3 exposures, stitched together with Autostitch on my iPad. I then sharpened the diggers and earth a little, and raised contrast and brightness.

Probably best viewed large, given the panoramicness.
