This is another recent photo.
I like the implied violence of the water here. There’s a lot of power in its motion, though it seems to lose a bit of that as it gets closer.
I also like the texture and the detail in the rocks. Helps with the sense of drama to some extent, somehow. Also also like how the wetter geological areas help to delineate shading.
This is my submission into the one hundred-and-seventy-fourth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge.
The theme for this one is “Shapes and Designs“.
I feel that in a way this fits as due to mining this area has been reshaped and so there are shapes here that may not have existed before any mining activity.
The challenge is hosted by four people and cycles weekly:
Week 1 – Patti
Week 2 – Ann-Christine aka Leya
Week 3 – Amy
Week 4 – Tina
This one is curated by Patti. The next one is guest curated by Lindy Low LeCoq.
I recommend participating in the challenges. They’re enjoyable and allow room for interpretation of the theme without straying too far. If you don’t participate, then I recommend that you at least check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.

Not in this specific spot. My understanding is that this area was mined continuously from 1880 to the 1920’s, then on and off again until 1944. It’s now a heritage site, with part of it used as a treatment plant, and a part freely accessible by visitors. I don’t think there’s much mining anywhere within a good range around the area at this point either.

I think it was a great take on the challenge. The boulders, the changing water, the clouds… Donna

Thank you very much! It’s an area I like, and whilst there’s not much to it, there’s also a lot.
