Great series again, Cee Cee. Nice time of year to be down there, not to hot or cold.

**PJ1** · 03-26-2014, 01:49 AM

Nice series - bring back some memories. Somewhere I have some B&W shots including quite a nice one of my wife and two girls in the wheel house of the Pevensey about 35 years ago! (Taken with an MX and M50/1.7) But Echuca is a great place to roam and photograph. And then there are the red gum swamps with all the birdlife as well.

Very impressive especially that first shot.

Well done CC on the shots and explanation.

thanks for the comments gmans, not down there any more, this was a couple of weeks back, I've just had limited time to review & process the shots, but the weather was very nice

thanks PJ1, I believe the Pevensey is 103 years old, as long as the tourists keep coming it'll probably go for another hundred years. A good spot for a photographer to holiday for sure

thank you EM, I've got to admit its the first time I've dragged my weary butt out of bed at that time in the morning to take a photo, but I'm glad I did

A great bunch of photos, Cee Cee. The Murray reminds me of rivers you see here in the south and midwest.
