Mannum Sunrise.

You always know that you have a good start to the day when you get a pretty sunrise like this one.
















This part of the day was captured at Mannum on the River Murray in South Australia.

After starting off a red colour, it turned gold before disappearing to a perfect day.

Low Water.

As Australia is experiencing one of its toughest droughts, I thought that I would show these two photos of the River Murray at Mannum South Australia.

The first photo was taken in mid 2005 with a reasonable amount of water in the river. Compare it to the photo below which was taken two years later and check the difference.









This photo was taken mid 2007 and shows how the lower water level of the main river is starting to have an effect on the flood areas to the side.

Although I have never seen it looking like this before, it makes us appreciate what it should be like and can only hope that in time, it returns to it's natural water level.

Murray River South Australia.

These two photos were taken on the weekend at Mannum which is a small town located on the River Murray in South Australia.

Mannum is approximately an hours drive east of Adelaide.










As you look at the photo to the left, the mud flats that can be seen here now, would normally be covered with water but due to the drought that Australia is experiencing at the moment, the water level is a long way down to where it would normally be.
