Canon 1Ds II 16-35mm f2.8 @16mmWhile doing a quick location search around Lake Wendouree the other morning, I couldn't help myself, I had to shoot a couple of the usual corny pictures of an empty lake. The shot above appealed to me for a number of reasons. The Olympic circles mounted proudly as part of the Ballarat Olympic Precinct, the repetition of the circles in the foreground monument, a small child cycling to school along a well used exercise track and a dry lake bed directly behind the child.
The irony of the shot is that Lake Wendouree was the site for the 1956 Olympic Rowing, Canoeing and Kayaking events, with the rowing finish line almost directly behind this young child. Oh how drought and time change things.
