Located on the western shore of lake Brown, Eaglestone Rock is a well known local landmark.
One of my favourite places in the wheatbelt region of Western Australia is Lake Brown, Nungarin.
When I look at this image, I can hear the sound of silence. It is an overwhelming feeling that comes over you when you are surrounded by the vastness of the Australian landscape. Even though that silence is punctuated by the low rumple of distant thunder and the occasional fly buzzing past one’s head, there is a weighty stillness that bears down on you. It is both peaceful and unnerving at the same time.
Lake Brown, Nungarin, Western Australia.
This image was taken in November 2014. This salt lake is usually dry at this time of the year, but recent thunderstorms left a shallow covering of water that was like a mirror. A lot is going on in this image. Besides the obvious rainbow, you can see a curtain of rain. There is also a shadow cast by the dense part of the cloud in the center.
Scenes like this amaze me – they last only a few moments and then they are gone. The wonder of nature.
Badjaling Salt Lake
In the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, there are many salt pans that often fill with water. On very still day, the reflection can be like a mirror. Badjaling Salt Lake is dissected by a road, making for an interesting perspective of the surrounding landscape.
