~ Movement in Water ~

The challenge from Lens Artist this week is “Water in Motion” by Sophia @ Photographias.

Who doesn’t take photos of water? Everything about water, sea, rivers, lakes and waterfalls is just waiting for a photo. Here are some of mine over the years.

Bleak day – New Year’s Eve UK from our hotel window

I would love to see this in Perth right now! It’s just another day in paradise here but in dire need of rain as trees and plants die, as huge branches fall heedlessly to the pavement below.

In the not too distant past – Gulfoss Falls, Iceland
Purpose built waterfall – Launceston, Tasmania
Wellington Dam, Collie, Western Australia
Watching Storm Eunice wreak havoc in Devon

Hi A nanny of two and a mum of two adult children, mum to two fur babies and wife of one. I love to travel and up until recently travelled the world, now exploring Western Australia! I play bridge, board games, read dance and blog in my spare time.

  3. Great photos, Alison! The Tasmanian water looks spectacular. The only waters I recognised here was Gullfoss!

  4. Oh Ali, I couldn’t help but laugh that both of your choices of moving water which is falling rain is……England!! Sums it up huh. I also like the “stormy weather and stormy women” quote. I know I’m retired now but I will always maintain that one of the major reasons that my business was a success was that I filled the place with feisty females. So much better than those men who faff around instead of making quick decisions (scared of getting it wrong). And it was stimulating to be surrounded by feisty characters. Michaela, however, isn’t feisty. I no longer need that! 😂

    1. Thanks Phil for your comments. Michaela sounds like she’s a port in a storm. You’re right, only rainy photos from the UK

  6. So many to love Ali. Lots of unique finds. The seaman quote made me laugh. probably truth in that. lol The waterfall walkway in Tasmania was interesting, and the mural, we’ll done, wasn’t it? And the last photo my favorite.

  8. Fantastic post, Alison. From the bleak UK day, the waterfall and my favourite the Wellington Dam, you have a great collection. Thank you for joining us.

  11. You’d be more than welcome to some of our rain if I could only parcel it up and put it in the post to you! Having said that, I do love your first photo 🙂 The mural on that dam looks amazing, and the bridge at the Tasmanian waterfall decidedly hairy!

    1. Thanks Sarah, still having exceptionally hot days. The mural is an outstanding piece of work, I did a post over a year ago. We didn’t risk the bridge either!

  13. Wow, Alison! Love the falls images. Iceland is on my short list of places to visit.

    I’m usually OK with bridges, but I’m not so sure about that one in Tasmania! Great challenge response.
