watched by stones
high in the mountain
river begins
Another glimpse of the environment around Venus Pool in Gariwerd, (The Grampians) a national park in Western Victoria. Many streams have their beginnings up on the peaks of this mountain range, some flow east, some West and some into the central valley. This little rivulet ends up flowing down through Halls Gap far below.
The Haiku and images are my double challenges contribution to; RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge#112 River & Stone. Visit at https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2016/08/29/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-112-riverstone/ where many creative haiku can be read .

So beautiful… I could feel as though the river wanted to tell me its story, and I felt as though I just wanted to sit there and listen! ❤

The reflection in the last shot is like a mirror and so beautiful. The first picture is the opposite, seems to be moving. Lovely post Denis 🙂

Thanks Melissa. It is an amazing place to get lost in your thoughts and with a digital SLR just let the camera loose.

I love this ensemble of title, haiku and photos. The colours of the water and the rock shapes are fascinating.

Thanks Janice. When I started this blog I vowed to stick to this process and only use my own photos, haiku, title and include a short story , so far I have stuck to this, it means no re blogs and no awards etc.

Vive la différence 🙂 Diversity is important so it’s good that you’ve managed to adhere to your design objectives…I also believe in fluidity. The important thing in my mind is to understand what is tugging me in the directions that I ‘m going…easier said than done, but worth the effort.

What a dramatic transition from first to second image. Love the reflections in the little stream. Excellent photos, Denis. The words “watched by stones” is perfect for both images. ❤
