Only a few more days before this Blog finishes. I’d love it if all my friends and followers would join me across at my new Blog     www.leecleland.com

The power of the wave on rocks at Norah Head.

Theodolite Creek Sunrise

Theodolite Creek, Woodgate Beach is very photogenic at sunrise. There are the sand flats at low tide with tendrils of the creek winding their way to the ocean, the small sand dunes, dead trees stranded in the sandy shallows and of course the sun appearing over the horizon. And every day is different because the clouds are different.

From the dunes.

The full moon is still visible.

Glow of dawn.

Buried logs

Finally the sun

Creek flats

Heading to the ocean.

Reflections

Tides coming in.

Flooded Obi Obi Creek.

Records were broken as we had 200mm or 8inches of rain in one day – most of it (like 175mm) in 2 hours! I went down the next morning early to Obi Obi Creek to see what had changed. The flood waters had gone down dramatically, by about 3-4 metres but even so the creek was moving fast and much higher than I have seen it before, though I’ve only lived here for 18 months. The first shot is taken before the flood and the others after.

Lush vegetation up to the path before the flood.

From the bridge with the flattened grasses.

The flood swept across this whole area leaving debris behind.

Stripped bare after the flood.

Debris through the seat.

Fern Reflected

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.

Beginning of the Thaw – Artic Russia

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.
