Boat House

As we drove to Warrnambool on the first day of our Adelaide Road Trip, I spotted a quaint bridge right beside the building in this shot.

I pulled over the car at the first available opportunity and we took a short stroll back to the area I’d seen from the road. As we were walking toward the bridge I set down my camera and tripod, and snapped a few various shots.

As I did so, I noticed the boat house — at least that’s what I think it is — and started framing rural-style shots around it instead. Closer shots of the bridge and building weren’t to be, however, as the rain started falling incredibly heavily just moments after this. We ran back to the car, with me hiding the camera under my jumper but with a somewhat humourous tripod bouncing along from under my jumper.

After a moment’s rest we pulled back onto the road and the rain stopped. Typical.

I tried a few different angles and focus points for this one.  There are none that I’d call “perfect” because I wasn’t able to get closer.  But I do like this one with the reeds in the foreground; I think it makes the scene feel more “rural”.

I mean, really, really nice. I especially liked the squab, he didn't put up a fight.
