Spectacular scene, and interesting description. The Victorian era of bridge building has left a fine legacy!
Interesting – and colourful – anaerobic growth on the river.
Sheryl Kasper
You captured the beauty and colors perfectly. :)

This is stunning, Phil. The river looks most surreal, like something out of Wonka land, and the HDR was very deftly done.
KatsEye

Cheryl Lunde
Superb image Phil, love the rich color intensity. Well done, as usual. Instant fave!

Vibrant and interesting image. Too bad that tire ended up in the middle of this view as it somehow steals the show for me.

Yieeew!! How sad is that? Great shot Phil….but it’s a wretched problem, isn’t it? A friend just came home from taking a boat holiday on the Murray in SA…said how the river is way down.
