Mac Mac Gorge - PhotoCamel

Lionello · 02-17-2008

I took this in December while on holiday in the north east region of S.A. To the left of this is the Mac Mac Falls so called for all the Scotts that had settled in the area in the 1900's

C & C will be appreciated.

Ah, this brings back memories. Thanks.

Got any of Bridal Veil Falls or any of the others from around the God's Window area of the ET? I shot loads on slide film 25 years ago and they've all faded to nothing. Would be good to see them again.

Kellycat · 02-17-2008

I really like your sky in this image.

New England Moments · 02-17-2008

Hey Lionello, where you been hiding .... This is nice great saturation of colors , and nice shadow detail... What can ya say about that sky!! Pretty Scene!

Lionello · 02-17-2008

Hey thanks Tom, between a bathroom renovation and a wedding I've been kept a little busy the last few weeks, finished processing the wedding shots, and the bathroom is just about done now, bar a finishing touch or two, so hopefully I'll be around a bit more now.
Gpf I did get a few at Bridal Veil, Horse Shoe and Lone Creek as well as Mac Mac Falls, Mac Mac is challenging these days because the viewing area has been surrounded by a cage so one has to try sick a lens through some holes, the others were flowing so strongly that I had spray on my lenses. I've posted one from Pinnacle Rock a couple of weeks back Pinnacle Rock
This will give you and idea of what the weather was like the whole week so God's window itself was a dead loss.
Kellycat I really appreciate that

Lionello · 02-17-2008

Lone Creek

My wife and I are planning a long weekend trip at the end of March out there again with some friends, so I'm hoping to revisit some of these then.

Paht6 · 02-17-2008

I liked all of the photos. I have never been in S.A., but after seeing these would sure like to see the area.

Joel · 02-17-2008

Hi Lionello. I'm going to have to wait a few days before seeing the images: I've been summoned to England to help sort out a job that's gone sour and, sadly, the company firewall blocks your images. I should be back home on Wednesday.

Lionello · 02-18-2008

Hey I'm well Jackel, thanks for your kind comment as well as to both of you Joel and FrankH.
Don't worry Gpf, they're not going anywhere, good luck in England.

Thanks indeed. Really enjoyed those - and I took a peek at Pinnacle Rock, too. Somewhere or other I've got a faded slide of this too.... A karma for the memories. Thanks.

Lionello · 02-20-2008

Thanks Judy, I apprecieate your positive comments, I think there may still be a few more coming up.
It was my pleasure Gpf.

KMA Dakota · 02-20-2008

What a wonderful series! Starting with your first shot right on through the extra shots of the falls. Oh I would kill to be there too!!

Great job and thank you so much for posting these. Awesome work here!!
