We have had quite a lot of rain over the past few days. Although we woke up to a foggy morning, after it lifted, we have had a mostly beautiful sun-shiney day!
This afternoon, Noel and I decided to go for a walk in the gorge ... which is located just a few minutes away from where we live.
After the rain, everything looked so fresh and clean. The South Esk river that runs through the gorge looked spectacular.

Just popped into your site, Edward, as I am want to do from time to time. It always gives me a rest from the many print sites I go to. Yours is so visually stimulating as befits an artist. Gudonyer, I say. Alway a pleasure to drop in and see some of your world.-Ron Price, George Town.
PS. Oh yes, happy birthday tomorrow(12/9/07)
It's been 3 months since I dropped in to your site, Edward. Time for another visit to "Jackdaw's corner."

Living as I do in George Town and as I have done in Perth, South Hedland and Katherine in the years 1982-2007, I must say that your photos of the Gorge capture a place that appeals to my Canadian sensibilities more than any place in those hotter climes of Australia where I have lived or even where I now live in George Town.
Occasionally I, too, go for a walk in the Gorge, sometimes with one or more of my children(now adults) or my wife and sometimes alone, and the place refreshes the spirit.
I suppose every place has its beauty. When I lived on Baffin Island in 1967 with its 40 below zero temperatures and no trees, there were people in the little settlement who declared it "the most beautiful place in the world!"
But it was so very cold!!
The Katherine Gorge and some places in the Kimberley and the Pilbara, especially the Wittenoom Gorge, I found beautiful--but it was so very hot!!
