UNFRAMED FINE ART PRINT 'Melaleuca morning reflections'
The Image: ‘Melaleuca Morning Reflections’ Lake Ainsworth, Lennox Head, Northern Rivers, New South Wales.
Lake Ainsworth is a fresh water lagoon that’s often in front of my lens. Opposite the Lennox Head Surf Club and Seven Mile Beach, the lake is fringed by strands of native Melaleuca (tea-trees). Tannins from the trees seep into the waters, giving the lake reputed healing and therapeutic properties as well as its signature reddish brown ‘stain’. Areas of the lake were once sacred to the Aboriginal women of the Bundjalung Nation for birthing and bathing afterwards. Today it’s a popular spot for swimming, kayaking, rowing, paddling and picnicking.
On this still and luminous morning I was out walking with my camera and the lake was full of reflections and smudged with shades of eucalyptus green, rust, caramel, silver and steel blue. It looked like a watercolour painting, steeped in the textures and palette of the NSW Northern Rivers. The photo I created that morning received a ‘Commended’ in the 2024 Landscape Awards run by Australian Photography Magazine.
