Merino sheep cluster along the rust-red earth of a parched dam embankment, their woolly bodies casting long shadows across cracked, arid terrain. The stark landscape of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula stretches beneath a pale blue sky, with wispy clouds offering little relief from the relentless drought conditions. A murky green water source cuts a lifeline through the dusty ground, providing critical hydration for the livestock surviving in this harsh agricultural environment. The sheep, with their dense fleece ranging from cream to light tan, huddle together – a testament to the resilience of Australian pastoral farming. Stark contrasts define the scene: the rich ochre of the dry ground, the muted yellows of the water, and the soft beige of the sheep's wool creating a raw, powerful portrait of agricultural survival in challenging conditions. Al Mabin's watermark speaks to the professional documentation of these critical moments in rural Australian life.
