Dandenong Creek

Description

Dandenong Creek runs through the outer south-eastern industrial suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

I loved this scene for the composition of colours in a quiet bend and for the overhanging trees.  While I definitely would not recommend swimming in the water, let alone drinking it, the scene is a gem in an otherwise bland area defined by grey and white concrete and steel warehouses.

As a matter of interest, I always try to photograph a scene which has an acceptable composition.  I don’t just point my camera and hope.  However, this leads to many disappointments, especially when travelling by car.  I may glimpse what seems to be a brilliant composition in an area where there is nowhere to stop.  The road is too narrow.  There are cars behind me.

Watercolour on Arches paper.  29.7 cm X 21.0 cm X 0.1 cm.  A4 size.
