+Red Nomad's recent image of the view across the flooded Ord river at Kununurra sparked a memory of the time when myself and my partner travelled up the Gibb River road from Broome… back when we were foot loose and fancy free.. ie no kids π
Anyway, back in the day i had this sony point and shoot camera which I took with me – even then in my pretty naive and ignorant photographic state I saw this scene and relised how beautiful it was, as such pretty easy to take a nice shot – I am not quite sure what on earth the composition was about – i looked at it tonight and then forehead slapped myself at all the other possibilities I could have had if I knew what I know now.. then.. make sense? nope.. don't worry π
Here it is and thanks again to +Red Nomad for the memories.

That sure is a great location +Gerard Blacklockβ! Your comment makes perfect sense! π Would love to see what you'd come up with now! Will have to check out +Red Nomadβ's post. She hasn't been apoearing in my notifications or stream for a while now – don't know what the go is there!

+Gerard Blacklock No matter what camera that was, it's a lovely shot Gerard.

Stunning picture ☺ ☺
Wonderful shot, +Gerard Blacklock!
Keep it simple and you'll never be wrong π Nice shot, Gerard!
fantastic
Something quite spooky about drowned trees in the water. Very nice. I really like the rippled reflection of the tree in the water. I just posted a shot of some drowned trees as well.
awesome, steeling heart
Glorious
Hey, don't beat yourself too hard, it is a very nice picture considering a point & shot and from a foot loose guy π +Gerard Blacklock
Truly, beautiful colors!
Fantastic! And thank YOU for the inspiration π I've got a few missed opportunities too, but every shot is a step further on my photographic journey – I think of them as stepping stones to where I am now (still not as advanced as you, haha). Also remember that to people who haven't seen your best work, this shot is still pretty awesome! Have a great weekend π
Beautifully capture…..beautiful tones …..beautiful reflections…….
Wonderful !!! +Gerard Blacklock Great memories :)) Thanks

Thankyou +Paul Pavlinovich and +Anna Rimovska

thats right, really at the end of the day the camera has little to do with it… a phone would have captured the beauty of this place!

Thank you so much +Gerard Blacklock – so nice of you to visit my blog! All those pix were taken on my one and only Kimberley trip in 2012 – I'd had my first (and only) digital camera for about 6 months (replacing a defective film camera I'd had for 20 years). It'd be interesting to see the difference between the shots if I went there again now! Maybe I'll see you there someday π
+Red Nomad
i don't think your digital camera will last 20 years like your film one π
Maybe one day !
+Gerard Blacklock your welcome Gerard :-))
Thanks for sharing my friend
Have a fantastic new week
