Matthew McDonald , Last of the yards (May theme: Rural life)

An abandoned stockyard sits weathered and broken against an open rural landscape. In the distance, wind turbines rise through the haze, marking the quiet transition from traditional farming practices to modern energy. The image reflects the changing identity of rural Australia, where remnants of the past remain etched into the land.
