  • billyboy

    I actually thought this was an Australian Ice Snake popping out of a birdbath toilet for a drink… was I right? The long tongue gave it away! Joking aside, this is a beautifully executed shot. Ice Snakes are so rarely seen this time of year!

  • Cathleen Tarawhiti

    Cathleen Taraw...

    Yes, I had to look ahrd for this… not even. I was oogling it from afar while the played at the skatebaording park. I could see the water and the possibilities reflections, colour light …hold my bag, I’m going in.

    Not sure what the first thing i thought of was – but the lasting impression is that the water spurting out is like a living creature – a water-worm or snake. I love it. This must’ve taken some planning.
