salt pond #1

The hot dry weather has meant that the salt ponds  scattered along the coastline of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula have returned. They are very ephemeral.  Here today, gone tomorrow is their mode of existence.   

They are also difficult to photograph. It is very opportunistic.

This fish skeleton was washed lying on the beach next to the Encounter Bay  boat ramp,  during the height of the recreational fishing in the summer holiday season in the early new year. 

This  happens each year.
