Much to my sorrow I don't have much opportunity to take photographs these days. At the moment I mostly take them on my holidays---hence they are snaps.
This image was taken in the river bed near the Mannum Falls about six kilometres from Mannum on the Murray Bridge Road. We were returning to Adelaide from spending a few days of our July holidays in the Clare Valley this year.

It was towards the end of he day. We walked up the river valley---it was the dogs evening walk. The little river was still flowing from the hills into the River Murray.This is unusual, as most of the Murray's tributaries in this area have dried up because all runoff water is taken by farmers and winemakers. Environmental flows is a big issue in is this region of the Murray-Darling Basin.

The sun was going. Dusk would soon fall. There was no time to use tripods and view cameras.

We drove along the Murray River to Murray Bridge then scooted back to Adelaide on the freeway.
