2016 PHOTOCHALLENGE WEEK 4: FREEZE MOTION
#photochallenge.org #photochallenge2016
Rain Rain Rain... Here in California we can't complain about rain. We need it!
Shot for 52 weeks of 2019 theme "Prime Time" (shoot with a prime lens). I pulled out my 85 mm prime and used a shallow depth of field to emphasize the drop!
In April 2015 I visited a good friend in Australia. We went on a three-week-trip along the east coast together. Here are some of the pictures I took.

After a day of torrential rain I feel the prompt for today is quite appropriate. A late afternoon walk gave me plenty of time to observe the drips forming and falling from the trees and to enjoy the feeling of them running down the back of my neck! Yes, that was sarcasm.

Ulan (near Mudgee)
NSW, Australia.
The Drip is an amazing gorge on the Goulburn River just north of Ulan and about 50km north of Mudgee.
The main part of the massive rock overhang is referred to as The Great Dripping Wall.
Water runs off from the surrounding hillsides & seeps through the rock & drips onto the the pools in the gorge.
Ferns cling to the rocks of the steep overhang and are constantly watered by the the water that drips down the top.
The track to The Drip is about 2.4km return, but it’s well worth exploring further downstream.
There are sandstone cliffs with ferneries that cling to them, huge boulders, & gnarly twisted trees.
Recently, an Aboriginal style painting on a large rock overhang by the river was discovered to be by Brett Whitely, a famous Australian artist.
The Drip area also contains a culturally important cave for the Wiradjuri indigenous tribe.
The cave has been used for many years as a place for women’s rituals & birthing was performed there.
The Drip is a popular destination for both locals & tourists.
People visit The Drip to bushwalk, swim, and also to go camping.
Its a great location for photography & also for bird-watching.
Unfortunately, The Drip is under threat from mining.
The area is not protected by the nearby Goulburn River national Park & is owned by the Moolarben Coal Company.
The mining company have proposed to protect as national park a measly 0.75ha of the area directly around The Drip wall.
The remainder 53ha of the proposal is for a state conservation area rather than a national park.
This does not protect the sensitive area from mining.
Moolarben Coal have a proposal to drill a tunnel that crosses The Drip are & this has the potential to affect local aquifers & river levels.
This could threaten the survival of the sensitive area of The Drip itself.
Local landowners Julie & Colin Imrie have offered 10ha of their neighbouring ‘Gleniston’ property to become national park,
as long as the Yancoal group hand over a larger portion of their land to national park.
This is a beautiful & unique area that needs to be protected as a national park.
My painting I did earlier this week. I'm in love with it haha
if you like this, check out my other pictures please and lemme know what you think :)
After the snow, we had about a quarter-inch of ice. It's finally warmed above freezing, but it's raining heavily and such a wet mess outside that I couldn't bear to go out except under the soffit over the deck, where there were these dripping icicles.
This is a double-purpose photo.
1 - It lets me share the details of the pretty, brook-fed public watering trough, up the street from us, where the woods and pastures start.
2 - It poses a fluid dynamics question for any science and engineering types viewing this photo: Why does the little stream coming out of the pipe turn into a series of discrete drips on its way down to the trough? Please answer via a comment.
