Botany, pond

Mill Pond is part of the wetland area in the southern suburb of Botany. The clouds were reflected beautifully in the pond on this day. This view is from Botany Road, looking towards the elevated Southern Cross Drive and underpasses. The view in the opposite direction can be seen here.

Very pretty. I like pictures by water - I've been seeing a lot of them lately. Or I've been NOTICING a lot of them lately...

Great reflection! And you where right, yours and mine are similar. Australia or Europe, the sky looks the same all over the world. And suddenly Australia doesn´t feel so far away:)

The water is gives a very mirror-like reflection of the beautiful sky.

Good use of the beautiful blue sky and big puffy clouds to dress up what looks like a swamp.

Francisca said...

That's sure easy on the eyes, Jim. Not only a pretty sky, but a clear reflection. Lovely balance of white, blue and green. You've even got a bridge (or overpass of some sort) in there for Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridges. :-)

kRiZ cPEc said...

Superb! I want to be there!

J Bar said...

Thanks Francisca, I hadn't thought of that.
