Chain Valley Bay

Photos taken yesterday afternoon, walking the pedestrian and cycleway through public foreshore land, at the south eastern extent of Lake Macquarie.



The Karignan Creek 25m suspension bridge built of hardwood timbers
 











there were quite a number of wrens flitting about in some sections, though challenging to get a photo of one not hidden by foliages



Signage denotes "Karignan Creek has been subjected to subsidence from underground coal mining causing a rise in water level on the northern side of the creek.  This is evident in the presence of dead eucalypts amongst the Paperbark trees."

    Congratulations on capturing the wren - no matter it is partially hidden, you did well to capture it in "stationary" mode! Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog. Happy Easter.

    Lovely reflections Carole!
    What a great photo number seven is of the rugged tree branches. It's as if you caught the tree stretches its many arms to the sky.
    I like the shadows on the weathered old bridge as well.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    What an interesting walk! It must be exciting to cross that bridge and look up to those towering trees against the blue sky. Sceneries well-captured!

    I find suspension bridges a little scary. I don't like it when they shake. :)

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
