Lake Tyrrell is a breathtaking, shallow Salt Lake that's more than just a geological wonder. This ancient Salt Lake spans an impressive 20,860 hectares, making it Victoria's largest Salt Lake. But what truly makes Lake Tyrrell an Instagram-worthy marvel is its stunning reflective surface that mirrors the sky, creating otherworldly visuals that seem straight out of a dream
Over the years, I have amassed a collection of photographs of this lake, capturing its various lights and weathers. Although I haven't visited the lake monthly this year, each visit has offered a unique experience.

Last evening, Joel and I planned to explore an inner-city beach along the Mornington Peninsula. We aimed to discover a few hidden corners of the rocky coast, perfect for long exposure photography. However, the weather turned completely overcast, contrary to the sunny forecast. We decided to detour to St Kilda Pier, which had recently reopened after three years of construction (Australia is notoriously slow with major construction projects).
Joel introduced me to the peculiar "no-no" dance from Sweden. He showed me an official video clip on TikTok, where the government requested Finnish women to perform this dance just before their rape in the country. It was bizarre to hear about this news. We ended up discussing world events in a rather dismal 24/7 China bar, consuming terrible carbs and eating deep-fried food
That is so bizarre right?

As many times as you return to Lake Tyrrell, I am sure that every photo is different.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about light
DeleteI'm sure your New Year's was no more bizarre than a lot of us, though that dance was a tad odd! But oh, what a glorious lake. Happy New Year! Keep sharing the beauty of your world.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Hope a good new year
DeleteWow, gorgeous view of the lake.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful day!
Such a beautiful place to photograph.
ReplyDeleteStrange dance and story to go with it.
I could actually display all the photos I got from Lake Tyrrell
DeleteYour lake photo is really stunning with perfect composition using that terrific reflection. Well done. I hope you visit this lake often to capture more wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteI will need to visit in 2 months
DeleteThese Vikings are crazy...
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the lake is wonderful, the salt and the reflection.
Salt smells unique
Delete...gorgeous image.
ReplyDeleteAs always, beautiful photo. I'm being a bit nooseey. Who is Joel to you? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's appropriate to make songs and dances out of a serious subject. But that's me...
Joel and I are friends since year 9 in high school. He is not my partner, but we are closer than what his family means to him. Joel reads your blog regularly and likes your political component of your posts.
DeleteNice one.👍
DeleteComo nos dices ese lago da mucho juego ya que de él nos dejaste fotos de gran belleza.
ReplyDeleteSobre la lentitud a la hora de realizar obras creo que por las antípodas (España) también hay algo que decir, un tramo de carretera lleva como unos 20 años en obras. No recuerdo los kilómetros que son pero no creo que mas de 40.
Saludos.
Your point about the construction delays resonates deeply. It's quite astonishing that a road of just 40 kilometers has been under construction for 20 years. It seems like construction projects can be sluggish no matter where you are in the world. Patience, as they say, is a virtue.
DeleteMuy bella la fotografía del lago. No se de la efectividad del cántico, pero seguro que el violador de momento se queda paralizado.
ReplyDeleteIt is coming from their own government!
DeleteThe photo of the lake is wonderful! It is so totally straight and flat. and the reflection and the real thing are totally identical! I have not heard of this strange dance. It is a shame that women even have to do this.
ReplyDeleteCrazy world we live in
Deletea beautiful photo! The color gradient is like a watercolor. Excellent
ReplyDeleteLove the lake photo, still puzzling over the video!
ReplyDeleteI have a good collection of shots of this lake
DeleteA beautiful lake and photo! Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteStunning shot :-D
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place to photograph.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
The photo of the lake is exquisite. The dance is interesting. I think the first thing I would teach a daughter/s, is a self-defense course, something they could be proficient in over a period of years. As a police officer my father taught my sister and me how to defend ourselves with confidence. Fortunately, I never had to use what he taught me, nor did my sister.
ReplyDeleteTeaching self-defense is an incredibly valuable gift to your daughter, offering her confidence and the knowledge to protect herself. Your father's lessons have obviously left a lasting impression on you and your sister, and it's wonderful that you've never had to use those skills in a real situation
DeleteBeautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteSplendid photo of the lake.
ReplyDeleteIt is the men who need to be educated.
Great picture! Don't worry india takes sometimes a decade to construct highways despite extorting maximum taxes
ReplyDeleteThat is quite crazy
DeleteBeautiful lake and photo.
ReplyDeleteHow weird is that video as if one would have to time think of doing that business just before being raped. What next!
That's a calendar photo.
ReplyDeleteI've learnt not to rush to see new things, such as St Kilda Pier. They may be open but unfinished.
You are right. The story from Finland is very bizarre.
St Kilda pier is unfinished and quite boring lol
DeleteI love the picture--- but the no-no dance seems like very bad K-Pop. But I'm an octogenarian. What do I know about dancing for rapists.....
ReplyDeleteThe story shocked me for the whole night
Deletelooks calm n peaceful...
ReplyDeleteThe no-no dance is shocking.
ReplyDeleteWell, if it is an instagram place, I will stay away! Nice shot, though.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of that lake and sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat a different type of reflection. The no-no dance apparently was a Tik Tok trend we could do without.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
