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.

  21. 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:)

  50. 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. :-)
