Golden light bathes a lush pasture in South Australia's southeast, casting long shadows across a dense flock of Merino sheep. The late winter sunset illuminates the woolly backs of hundreds of sheep, creating a luminous landscape of soft greys and warm amber tones. Scattered trees punctuate the horizon, their silhouettes stark against the glowing sky, while the sheep cluster together in tight groups across the verdant paddock. This scene captures the resilience of Australian agricultural landscapes during a "green drought" - where pastures appear green but lack sufficient moisture for optimal growth. The backlit sheep showcase the robust nature of Merino genetics, standing quietly in a landscape that speaks to the challenging yet beautiful conditions of rural South Australian farming. Soft clouds drift across the sky, adding depth to the golden hour scene and highlighting the quiet strength of sheep farming in this iconic agricultural region.
