Melbourne

A tranquil wetland scene at Point Cook, Melbourne, Australia, with reeds and aquatic vegetation. An integration of natural habitats within suburban residential environments with homes nearby.

This Heron is a local at the Cardinia Waters Retirement Village. I suspect its not over 55 but no one seems to complain.
Full moon tonight. Sky clear enough for a clear photo .
Good insert piece to post over a waterfall or clift. Not of course to deceive the viewers.  Just to enhance the experience. 🤗
