Taken early in the morning before cyclonic winds started for the day, and thereby making any image on the water opaque.

An entertaining balance of opposites, Mick.

Starting with the bright far-ground contrasting with the shaded foreground.
Then a distant band of rippled water adjoining a nearby plane of mirror water.
Look at the sedges on the right, white stems against a dark background, and then
observe the sedges on the left, dark stems against the light. Nice subtle stuff!

I checked out Whroo on Google Earth: lots of camera-ready possibilities combined with
lots of hazards underfoot. WooHoo?

Thanks Maris.

I agree about the possibilities of dropping into a bottomless abyss. I walked from my campsite to the historical Whroo reservoir, checked out the photographic possibilities then started hotfooting it back to the camp via a shortcut to get my camera; not a great idea as there were holes, hillocks and some rather doubtful looking depressions everywhere, so I returned to the path.

Those sedges were what drew me to getting the camera out.
