Description

Sunset Reflections on Pamamaroo Lake by Lexa Harpell.

The joy of travelling 'on the road' is that you get to stop and stay at out of the way places.
I was dreading the next leg of 400kms of heavily corrugated roads to my next destination - with an average speed of 20kms/hr.
This 20km detour was well worth a welcome few days to explore the dried out lakes near Menindee, NSW.
The sunset was spectacular on the first night with a purple haze sky. Sitting on the thick sticky mud on the edge of the lake waiting for the sun to drop below the horizon was not ideal - but if you want the shots, you do what you have to!
.
As of this date, New South Wales and parts of Queensland has been officially declared to be in a severe drought.

Rivers and lakes water levels are extremely low, some have dried up completely.

Yet there is always beauty to be found in these extreme, harsh times.

One of them is on Pamamaroo Lake, near Menindee in New South Wales.
Apparently, the lake is at 10% water capacity (so I was told). Exposing the thousands of downed trees that are normally more submerged.

The vivid sunset over the lake expressed the tree skeletons so beautifully as stark silhouettes.
