Rushing Waters

We've had quite a bit of rain recently (9 inches over two days) - very unseasonable. Anyway, I trundled down to the creek a couple of days after the rain stopped and took a few shots, this being one of them.

Flooded

David de Groot has posted a doc:

As dawn broke, the wreck of the Gayundah was bathed in a wonderful warm light. It's flooded bowels protuding from the stilled bay in memory of what it once was.

Flooded is for sale as a Framed, Mounted or Laminated print at RedBubble.

Lars Anderson House

David de Groot has posted a doc:

I found this colonial house on the main street of Esk.

I think it's now used as a restaurant / B&B.

In 1900 Lars appeared before a Qld Govt. Committee concerning a proposed railway extension. Lars Anderson was a Danish Sawmiller who lived in Esk in the late 1800's and early 1900's. He built the Christ Church that stands in Milton. Anderson and his two brothers were very successful in this industry, partly because he had been instrumental in developing a system of light rail to extract timber from areas which were previously inaccessible due to difficult terrain. It is probable that Andersen was chosen rather than a local builder because he had constructed the Anglican Church at Esk.

Flowing Fast

Cedar Creek still flowing fast after the rains.

I only took twelve shots around here as I was being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

...both the wreck and my boots when I took this photo.

I wasn't quite quick enough diving back before the waves came in.

Pre-Dawn Blue

over the Wreck of the S.S. Dicky,
Dicky Beach,
Caloundra,
Queensland,
Australia.

The S.S. Dicky ran aground during heavy seas on the 4th February 1893. The ship was re-floated, but heavy seas turned the ship about and back onto the sand where it remains today. Recently very heavy seas have exposed a greater portion of what's left of the ship.

Creek Panorama

Cedar Creek,
Queensland,
Australia.

We had 2 inches (50mm) of rain in about an hour this afternoon so it was off to the creek for me as soon as the rain had cleared. I decided to do something different and go for a stitched panorama.

This is the fourth bridge over the creek and the spot the kidlets swim in when it's hot.

Five 10mm shots stitched together using Hugin for a roughly 180 degree panorama.

Another unconventional creek shot. The tripod (and my foot) got somewhat wet taking this one.

Taken around dusk as this spot is terribly exposed for daylight shooting.

Rushing Past is now available as framed, mounted or canvas prints.

The day after rain

David de Groot has posted a doc:

Cedar Creek,
Queensland,
Australia.

This is the same spot as my Whirlpool photograph but this time the day after we had roughly four inches of rain.

The creek has gone down a little from yesterday, but is still rushing by at a faster and higher level than when I shot "Whirlpool".
