Looking at the Summer Palace from the land side. Huge grounds, elabrate plantings and water used in ponds, fountains and waterways, an amazing place whether inside or outside.
Looking back at the Summer Palace from near the Bay of Finland. You can see the fountains at the foot of the steps in the far distance and smaller fountains lining the waterway towards the palace.

Artic Russia, frozen lake, landscape, photography, thaw, travel, water
Melted pools of water and large cracks in the surface of the ice over the lake are signs of the impending thaw up in the Artic.
Around the edges of the frozen lakes where the ice is thinner small pools of water are coming into existence.

Australian, Lake Windamere, landscape, photography, travel, water
Still on the same day, after leaving the Black Stump Way I joined the Castlereagh Highway through to Gulgong an old gold mining town west of the Blue Mountains from Sydney. I would love to stop here one day and walk the streets, there is so much history here (for Australia anyway 1840’s to1860’s there abouts). The streets were very narrow and bendy for 2-way traffic and with The Little House in tow quite a challenge to navigate. Didn’t find the caravan park so pushed on to Mudgee a big wine growing area and very popular with people from Sydney for weekends. It’s only three and a half hours away.
Stayed in Mudgee overnight at the Riverside CP which is right in town and handy to everything including the river walk which Flair thoroughly enjoyed after 8 hours in the car.
The next day was only 50km the long way – through Lue and Rylstone to Cudgegong State Park on Lake Windamere (Windamere Dam).

Lake Wanaka, landscape, NZ, photography, sunrise, travel, water
As the sun rose slightly higher the snowy Southern Alps became the highlight with the inlets of Lake Wanaka still in shadow.
A different direction and the clouds are catching the pink light with the Lake very much in shadow.

An alpine stream flowing over the boulders. Fed by the melting snow above as we come into Spring and Summer in Australia. Taken near Dead Horse Gap, Snowy Mts. National Park.

light, photography, sky, vastness, water
I am always amazed at how long it takes me to think things over and ‘see’ the bleeding obvious! I suppose I should be used to it by now but it still takes me by surprise. So when looking back through some of my favourite images and trying to put adjectives to them that I could then use in future images, why was I so surprised to find – isolation, light, sparseness or minimalism, detail or close up, vastness and ICM?
Light and vastness.

I love the effect of a slow shutter speed on fast moving water particularly as here where it hits a rock in the middle of the creek.

With all the rain we had last week, Purgatory Creek was flowing freely and creating all sorts of lovely little waterfalls and splashes and eddies for me to photograph.
My raging little creek, it’s actually not that small but not that big either 🙂
