About a year ago I went to a place on that schizophrenic river the Hawkesbury/ Nepean.

Apparently it got its name(s) from early explorers finding a south to north river which they named the Nepean and a west to east river which they named after a tiny village in Gloucestershire and thus became known as the Hawkesbury River.  They are of course one and the same river, and the bridge near Yarramundi Reserve is the place where the river changes its name.

I went with some friends VERY early in the morning and saw this pelican through the morning gloom at first light.  I call it "White Bird".  This is more or less how it came out of the camera, tweaked for brightness, contrast and saturation, but no arty farty stuff done to it at all.
 
Maybe you had to be there to appreciate it!
