Water lilies

/ Robert / 8 Comments

Our house faces a nature conservation area. There isn’t a path through it, presumably to minimise the disruption to koalas and bird life.

Last weekend we took the opportunity of our friend from Sydney visiting to drive to the other side of the reserve.

What a pleasant surprise, to be faced by a body of water topped with lilies.

I took this picture standing on a bridge traversing to the other side.

Winter sails

Albert Park Lake, Melbourne. This scene was more comfortable from inside the restaurant. I was lucky that a few weak rays of Winter sunshine illuminated the sails at just the right moment. 

I used Snapseed for iPad app to accentuate the dark water and bring out the malevolent blue sky.
