Facade 57 - Lake Fyans




This was a rainy day at Lake Fyans where it was one of the major 3 lakes in Grampians National Park. The place was as if it was in Africa somewhere. So dry and arid that the locals had long deserted the place.

I took the shot with leica 90mm f2 summicron. A lens that brought so much more colour and details with a wide aperture number.

This image really remnds me how severe the global warming is affecting my home state.

Nice light and composition on this one. Trees, dead or alive, are always one of my favorite subjects. The sky here is interesting, too. Was this actually part of the lake bed at one time?

The dead trees look very dramatic. Wonderful shot!

Mark, Thank you for your time to visit. The place was once a lake bed due to drought. Somehow the erratic weather brought a bit of rain and some water snakes had returned to the region :)

JM, the dead trees are my favorite theme to photograph in Australia
