Going, Going, Gone
As the sun set over the Noora Basin near Renmark SA, the reflections where amazing – as where the bugs!!!!!!
Many years ago this area was turned over to a salt interception scheme – although it is sad to see the dead gum trees, it is better to sacrifice a little to save a lot.
Many thanks to Steve Chapple for sharing this opportunity

Sorry – you are breaking up …........ cant quite read the bit about degradation…................... Once again you are right my friend – you have shown me there are many ways to look at the same image through many eyes

Beautiful and tranquil, Dave, in spite of (or perhaps because of) the dead trees.
Dave Hartley replied
Cheers – yes, was a very tranquil spot – but also eerie as far as very little movement around the area
Thanks for the comment
