67. Big Red

Whitford, May 2009.  As I drove through the countryside, I came across this stunning sight – red water – or seemingly.  I just had to get out of the car to take a shot – even though to the right of this pic where the road is, there was major road reconstruction going on, with earthmoving machines and people holding Stop and Go signs.  They probably thought I was crazy to pull into the ditch to take a photo.  Who cares.  I couldn’t get close enough to see why the water was red, but I think perhaps some kind of river weed had taken a hold of this section of water.  Quite amazing anyway, and complemented by the beautiful autumn colouring developing on some of the surrounding trees.
