Mirror - Narrabeen Lakes - The HDR Series

BEST VIEWED LARGER

Yes the reflections are natural, no photoshop or digital manipulation except mother natures

North Narrabeen lies on the northern shores of Narrabeen lagoon, bounded by Warriewood to the north, Elanora Heights to the west and extends east to the ocean at Turrimetta Beach. Narrabeen is opposite on the southern shore of the lagoon.

The first land grants were made to John Lees, 40 acres, Philip Schaffer, 50 acres, and James Wheeler, 80 acres, along the south bank of Mullet Creek. Alex Macdonald was granted 80 acres at the beach in 1815 and west of this land JT Collins had 93.5 acres by 1857.

During the nineteenth century travellers had to ford the lake until 1880 when the first bridge opened. A second bridge at the mouth of the lagoon in Ocean Street was built in 1925

This shot was taken at sunrise, i was driving across and caught the reflections out of the corner of my eye, needless to say I had my camera with me.

The reflections were fantastic especially the clouds and the single span of the bridge looking like a double span.

Narrabeen Lakes are a tidal fed this shot is the second bridge closest the the lakes entrance.

Located around 30 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, a must if visting Sydney is to travel the Northern Beaches of Sydney, great at any time of day but glorious when there is a wonderful sunrise or sunset ….. MAGIC

    Hi Philip. This is such a great shot and takes me right back to 1982 when we were doing school photography for a living. For 4 weeks we were parked in the Narrabeen Caravan Park and many’s the time we walked across this bridge. Then we moved out to Lane Cove and it wasn’t quite the same!! Regards, Peter
