Lennox Head

We drive through Lennox Head on the way to Yamba...stopped for lunch at the bakery in the main street and took this shot on the way back to the car.Note how dry the grass is as we go though another month of terrible drought....In Qld where I live 78% of the state has been declared drought stricken and it is the largest area to be so at one time since records began over 100 yrs ago. Most of the state being cattle country it is crippling the the men, women and children who have worked their land for several generations.
The headland is where I took this shot below a few years back and it's where we watched whales heading north and south over their migration period last August.

Still beautiful compared to the next one. I love them both. Such beautiful countryside.
Terribly depressing about the drought. What is the world's weather coming to?

It's a breath taking scene with the blue water and dramatic sky. I hope the clouds hold rain. V.

The beach looks very beautiful, but the drought must be hard on you all.

Hoping your drought ends soon. So hard on those who work the land.

"Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink," from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. This is such a beautiful scene, Laine! Hopefully you'll get rain soon and lots of it. \/

Very nicely composed. Hopefully those clouds will give up some of that much-needed moisture for your area.

I was going to say what a splendid beach scene (and it is), but reading your text I see how dry things are and I know how terrible droughts can be. I hope you get rain. V
