Dead Trees

[wigz]

I have been away for a couple of weeks with no internet access so I have a lot of catching up to do.

These trees are at Lake Cawndilla in Kinchega National Park near Menindee NSW.

That's a wonderful series Alan. Loving the soft pastel colours in the clouds, really adds something to the images

[wigz]

Thanks LC. I was waiting for a good sunset on the last few but a dark cloud came up and obscured the colour where I was. I could only see this bit of colour off to the soutn.

Good series of one of my favourite subjects Alan. Love the colours and your framing is excellent. That lake looks a tad bigger than mine

[wigz]

Thanks Isac, it is rather large, and the one next to it is even larger.

[Isac]

They certainly are huge bodies of water. When crossing our little lake it takes 3 minutes - whereas yours would be like going overseas!

[Joeyjoe]

All great shots, though maybe #2 for me by a nose

[wigz]

Thanks Joe. A good choice, I think.

Lovely scenes and well caught.

Has the lake flooded the area, thus catching these trees, or is it seasonal.?

[wigz]

Thank you.

The lakes were seasonal, often drying completely. They are now controlled by weirs and usually contain water although they do fluctuate a lot. They fill when the Darling River floods.

They form the water supply for Broken Hill in western New South Wales.

Thanks Alan...

That light is wonderful. Beautiful shots Alan.

[wigz]

Thank you David

[Alan]

These are beautiful Alan! I have fond memories of field trips there in the 70's, staying in the old shearing quarters near the woolshed

[wigz]

Thanks Alan. It was my first time there and I have some images from the woolshed. I really enjoyed the light on these trees on the two evening I was there. I would have liked to have stayed another night but had a booking elsewhere that I couldn't easily change.

[Grumpy John]

Love these Alan, also love Kinchega NP, too bad it's so far from where I live.

[wigz]

Thanks John. Well it's not exactly close to me, so I don't know if I'll ever get back.
