Nearly every year the Blackwood River, where I walk almost daily, floods. This usually occurs after a heavy storm during January/February. This image captures one such occasion in 2011. The Blackwood River actually has an interesting history.
Aboriginal Australians have lived along the Blackwood River for thousands of years. The Bibulman Noongar people called the river Gurbillup buerle, "burle" meaning "river", while the portion of the river at Bridgetown was called Gigellup buerle.

I am a keen photographer and digital artist. My particular interest is in nature with emphasis on floral work and landscapes. My gallery on this site also contains some of my manipulated photography and photo paintings, most of which have originated from my photography. You will also find some digital art in the form of fractals, kaleidoscopes and patterns, some created from my photography. Sit back and enjoy. All images are ©Elaine Teague. All rights reserved. When you purchase an image, the Fine Art America watermark will not appear on it. Also, you can adjust the size of the image on most products using the image size slider bar or by using your mouse to grab the image.

Elaine Teague replied:
Oh a rainfall doesn't affect the river, it's the heavy storms we get now and again, particularly in the middle of summer. Thanks for commenting Lesley.
Len Bomba
Oh my! Please be careful when venturing out there. Love the history that you've included here as well.
Elaine Teague replied:
Thanks Len. This isn't a regular occurrence Len thank goodness. Just when we get a really bad storm usually in the middle of summer.
