Waterway

Once this was a flowing river and the area had a wharf servicing recreational and freight boats. The channel is now blocked resulting in minimal flow and very few boats

Nice capture. Global warming or development. I like the composition and balance.

@sandradavies A misguided decision by the local council many years ago. Deforestation increased flooding and work was done to divert the river. What was once a loop is no longer connected at the top end minimizing any flow and resulting in unhealthy, stagnant water in the loop. Options are being considered for re-opening the loop

@suez1e Oh gee, a common result as councils play with nature. Hope they work it out.

Such a shame that the flow has been stopped. But this makes for a lovely B&W photo, with so much atmosphere

Hi Sue! Thank you for your challenge. My challenge for you would be to find something man-made on the beach that tells a story. It could be something washed onto or forgotten at the beach, not something that was built to be there. Take a photo of it that highlights whatever you find and tells the story of what happened or its former owner.
