Sunflower Sunset: Fields of Gold (Exhibition Piece)

Sunflower Sunset: Fields of Gold is an enchanting framed photographic print by Jaime Dormer, capturing the vibrant beauty of sunflower fields in full bloom along the scenic road from Warwick to Allora in South East Queensland.

This piece is part of Dormer’s exhibition collection, offering a breathtaking glimpse of nature’s golden giants as they embrace the fading daylight.

The 50-kilometre stretch of road from Warwick to Allora is famous for its stunning display of sunflowers that bloom from October through to March. These giant flowers stand proudly, reminding locals and visitors alike that summer is still in full swing. With their large golden faces creating a striking contrast against the black soil, green crops, and deep red sorghum fields, the Warwick sunflower fields are a glorious sight to behold.

In capturing this image, Dormer took care to respect the farmer’s hard work by keeping a safe distance from the crops, choosing instead to photograph from the roadside.

“Making sure to pay due respect to the farmer’s hard labour by not encroaching on his valuable crop, I captured this image from the roadside taking height advantage by standing on my trusty Nissan’s roof. The large golden faces bowed to the falling sun at my back, and nodded their heads in my direction while the distant horizon glowed prettily of pastel pinks and blues with the fading daylight.”

The resulting photograph perfectly captures the harmony between the vibrant sunflowers and the pastel hues of a Queensland sunset.
