Murray Sunset NP | NSW | Australia
This was shot mid-morning at Lake Kenyon - one of the pink Lakes in the Murray Sunset National Park. This area has a rich history of harvesting pink salt throughout the 1900's - especially during war times in order to acquire salt to preserve meat for the troops. It's incredible how much that salt used to be valued during those times. Commercial operations have long since stopped though.
Much of the shore line is littered with footprints from curious travellers, but I was fortunate to find this patch of crusty salt patterns that was completely undisturbed. Getting out and exploring from behind the lens was cathartic for me, helping me come to terms with the passing of a close family member at the time (This was taken last year in May 2019).
During COVID lockdowns it really sinks in that the whole act of landscape photography is just as much about getting out and about and exploring as anything else. Whether I've got some nice frames on the SD card or not at times is really just a bonus.
Hope you are all doing really well.

Sunrise at the site of the MV Sygna shipwreck.
I was going through some older photos and found yet another shot of this shipwreck that I like. A 2.4:1 crop seemed to bring it to life, so I had to share.
Update 06/06/2016: This boat has now been fully destroyed from the storms on the weekend.

A single pole guides my way home, far off in the distance.
