Black Duroc and Large White pigs forage through dry winter grasslands near Heathcote, Victoria, their dark silhouettes creating a stark contrast against the muted grey landscape. Muscular and hardy, the free-range herd moves methodically through tall, dormant grasses, kicking up dust and revealing the rugged terrain of this central Victorian agricultural region. Distant eucalyptus trees and rolling hills frame the scene, highlighting the extensive farming practices of the area. Smoke or dust hangs lightly in the atmosphere, lending a moody, atmospheric quality to this black and white agricultural tableau. The image captures the resilience of livestock farming in challenging Australian landscapes, where animals adapt to sparse, seasonal pastures. Soft morning light filters across the scene, emphasizing textural details of the weathered grasslands and the robust, lean bodies of the foraging pigs.
