Billabong is an Aboriginal word. When I was a child we made no distinction between the language of one clan/tribe and the next, such was the ignorance of White Australians about the heritage of those who have lived on this continent for at least 60 thousand years before us. When I looked at this scene I saw only the beauty, my Indigenous brethren would see endless aids to survival and the Spirit of Place and the beauty. When it comes to my country I have a lot to learn.

I've been on holidays over Easter, done some camping, visited Melbourne, fired off a lot of shots. This is the first to grace Caedes as I only got back today.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

If this is the first, I am certainly looking forward to seeing many more. This is a fabulous shot - the water with the clouds reflected is very very beautiful. What a wonderful place you found - it does seem a spiritual place. Thank you for sharing this one.

A fantastic place! Love this perspective, the curve of the shoreline showcasing the dual lighting in the still waters. Perfectly placed clouds!
