Well done eggs.

Nice shot. Hopefully the water will continue to flow for some time...

[eggs]

Thanks photohiker
I thought all the shots this month were of an excellent standard - good colour, composition and clarity with great subjects - particularly the bird and lizard shots.

As for the falls - this area has a very small collection area - and the flow has very quickly reduced to a trickle. So this photo is a very rare sight.
By the time summer is in full swing it will probably be bone dry - but SA is the driest state in the driest continent in the world... [excluding the "mainland" to the south that is .. ie Tas]

Well done eggs

that's a serious amount of water coming over there

[Mickeymoo]

Nicely done Eggs! It was certainly another hard month to pick just one to vote for.

[north-north-west]

Congrats.
About time you won one, you've come very close on a number of occasions.

[iandsmith]

Mmm, now that the bar has been raised! Congratulations, it's hard not to love waterfalls in full flood.
I chucked in the bird because they don't seem to get much air time, so to speak, in this area.
I actually voted for the last one because I thought it had a bit of imagination.
Cheers all

Nice and varied collection, I was torn between the winner, the bird and nnw's beautiful pic - gave it to eggs in the end - don't ask me why, I can't even pick which of my own pics to enter....

Ditto. I like the shots that arent your average run on the mill!!

[north-north-west]

Thanks.
I just wish I'd been able to get the angle I really wanted on it, but it would have involved lying down in some incredibly cold water.

I love the spring thaw. Great photo nnw. I a sucker for waterfalls. Congratulations Eggs. I didn't vote in this comp but there were some really nice picture so congratulations everyone.

[johnw]

Nice work everyone. I like the waterfall eggs, great thinking to get it in full flow.

[eggs]

Thanks

This was shot on a wet day without a tripod - so a bit difficult.
I actually put up a photo of the same fall from below - 2nd entry in the May Australia comp - with a "good" flow in it.
Quite a contrast.

THanks eggs,

Appreciate the comment.

I thought that the vote was between yours and the Heysen trail shot. Both excellent work. I'm a sucker for a good landscape shot.

Cheers,
