Yep it's a worry alright but I arranging some for Thursday,I send it over from the York soon as we finished with it,personally the image lacks a stronger subject,I found myself looking over the grass in the foreground but couldn't find anything?Maybe a closer lead in on a log?Thanks for sharing well done!

I love this and this artist nodes behind it, I have been watching some documentaries on Australia lately and realize the ecological impact the change in environment has on your country. other places seem to be impact but Australia seems to have all types of weather plus fires, please keep safe.

the shot beautifully taken from a very interesting point of view. I like the grass of the foreground with the logs showing the force of the water in the mid ground all tied together by a lovely background of green trees with bright blue sky poking and between. the focus appears to be a tad soft, that could be my old age eyes though lol. it's well presented in the frames to give the maximum initial impact great job overall, c

Thanks so much, I appreciate your feedback. We are lucky so far no fires in Adelaide but was surrounded by them where I fly in to Victoria for work. Luckily no-one was injured this year and none of my work colleagues lost their homes.

Thanks so much Eddie, it had been a fairly mild but dry summer up till March but we did feel sorry for you guys over in the West and up in Alice Springs - so very hot for weeks on end.

Comment from Brian B
Such a great photo of these changing times. In a way it is sad to see the water disappear. The landscape is well shown and interesting view of the trees stumps. Beautiful color and tones and the trees and grass.
