Lake Mulwala Photo

Photographer’s Note

Mulwala means "big lagoon", its twin town of Yarrawonga emerged in the 1850s, thanks to prospectors heading from NSW to the Victorian goldfields. By the 1890s, Mulwalla-Yarrawonga was an important border crossing point. Lake Mulwala was created in the late 1930s when the Murray was dammed at the Yarrawonga Weir as part of the Murray-Darling Irrigation Scheme.

Lake Mulwala is more than 20 kilometres long and the perfect venue for all sorts of water activities, including fishing and water-skiing.

Hi Ray!
This is excellent photo! I like that sky with those strange clouds and I also like those dead trees.
Well done!

Cheers,

Hello Ray,
your photo indicate your skills in using wide angle to show dramatic sky and water.
The photo gave a good impact with the position of the dead tree.
Great shot.

Regards,
Foozi

Hi Ray,
The wide angle used has created a dramatic look to the image, with the couds seeming to be sucked in towards the sun area. The textured sky is well balanced by the harsh looking landscape, emphasised by the dead looking trees. Well captured.
Cheers Grant
