This is one of the rare waterfalls in Southeast Adelaide. After much effort, Joel and I finally arrived at the site, only to discover a stagnant pond with no visible outlets near the waterfall. The air was heavy with the stench of decay, and swarms of mosquitoes hovered above the water. Disgusted by the scene, Joel refused to remain for a long exposure shot of the waterfall.
Despite the unpleasant conditions, I chose to capture the image nonetheless, as a testament to the effort it took to reach this secluded place.

You did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine your disappointment.
I did a click to prove i was there
DeleteBeautiful place
ReplyDeleteThe image looks more refreshing than what your text reveals!
ReplyDeleteCreo que el esfuerzo mereció la pena por la belleza de las cascada.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a disappointment! But really, after so much effort, it was good that you made it worthwhile. A great photo, I especially liked the black rocks. One would never know how awful the place is.
ReplyDeletePhotography can mask unpleasant stuff
DeleteYou know....I think deep down I knew Australia had waterfalls... I just don't think I have seen many... at least not outside of Tasmania. These are beautiful, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJust medium Waterfalls mainly. Nothing huge like other continents
DeleteBeautiful image.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill
DeleteThis looks like a lovely spot
ReplyDeleteThe photo contradicts the text,
ReplyDeleteonly the shores of the lake show that they are not clean!
Nice photo, worth your effort!
Lucky me
DeleteI suppose all falls can't be of the standard of Niagara. I'm sure it would look good after decent rain.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the stagnant pond because the waterfall looks beautiful. Glad you posted this photo and then explained what you and Joel found.
ReplyDeleteBest laid plans, eh?
ReplyDeleteWas there a time when there WERE outlets near the waterfall and no smell?
ReplyDeleteI like it this way--- I don't mean the smell!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning :-D Shame about the stink though.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a nice little waterfall, maybe if it was bigger there wouldn't be that problem there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful waterfalls! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteCon haber logrado una buena imagen para tener constancia del esfuerzo realizado, igual las condiciones en otra ocasión pudieron ser mejores y con mas agua no hubiera habido tantos mosquitos para trabajar con tranquilidad.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
It looks lovely so it is too bad about the stench and the bugs.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, but I wouldn't hang around either. Mosquitoes love me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

No one would say it's not an idyllic place...
