13. Lake Joondalup after summer

Lake Joondalup is an important wetland area for thousands of birds.
This is how it looked this morning, very dried up after our long
hot summer. We have had no rain yet, but we do have some clouds:-)

What a lovely place so close to Perth!

Makes gorgeous reflections. Praying for rain for you soon. We had none last year and it was bad but the rains came again and our lakes are now full again. This is gorgeous!

Ottimo Work....Bravo...V

What a captivating effect in this layered composition ...... It took me a few seconds to figure out what was where :-)

Superb reflections.

Amazing reflections but a shame about the water levels
Karen Stuebing16-Apr-2012 21:55
Love the composition and the way the sky is magnified in the water. Looks like quite a few birds there.
Phillip Normanton16-Apr-2012 21:17
A lake full of clouds - it's all very abstract - I like :o)
Brian Samuel16-Apr-2012 19:53
What a great affect. It almost looks like two different pictures joined at the waterline.
Colin Storey16-Apr-2012 19:23
Loving those fantastic cloud reflections.
Guest 16-Apr-2012 18:50
Amazing reflections Sheila, we had important problems with the lack of rain last summer too!

Terrific reflections, but sad for the absent of rain....:-(
Zak16-Apr-2012 16:51
Nice reflections!
Laryl16-Apr-2012 16:22
a great contrast photo.. those clouds don't look like rain either, poor lake!
Shayne16-Apr-2012 14:32

Guest 16-Apr-2012 13:13
Beautiful work. V.
Brenda16-Apr-2012 12:03
Beautifully captured. Hoping you have a wet winter to bring it back to its normal level.
Guest 16-Apr-2012 09:53
Wow! Fabulous reflection!! Great capture. BV
Bob White16-Apr-2012 08:47
That water certainly does look low, and I love those reflections ...v
Yvonne16-Apr-2012 08:05
Gosh, the water is low... here's hoping some rain will come your way SOON Sheila! I
wonder if that nearby township has any problems with mozzies! Beautiful reflections...

A great capture. The straight line between wet and dry makes a good contrast. But I would prefer to see the waterline where it should be, far in the background. BV
Mieke WA Minkjan16-Apr-2012 07:41
always fascinating the development of nature during drought periods
like the clouds and the blue sky reflection against the pink of the dried up wetland
laine16-Apr-2012 07:40
never a pretty sight...must admit I do like green better than brown
Guest 16-Apr-2012 07:33
An interesting and imaginative composition, Sheila. You have certainly had a long hot summer with no end in sight as yet. I enjoyed playing golf at the wonderful Joondalup course years ago.
shatterbug16-Apr-2012 07:06
Interesting choice to give this priority to the reflected sky, and on second look, there are lots of details to observe!
