In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.

A similar perspective of Lake Geneva, and the last pic I got a chance to take.

Lucky boy, Lake Geneva (and Lac Lucerne) are high on my list of the most stunning places I have been. Not quite sure the You Yangs are as impressive as the Alps, but if you squint the clouds can look like mountains.

Beautiful places.

I was really surprised at the water quality. Crystal clear. Not a drop of pollution in sight. The Lake was alive with life.

And it made my hair go all fluffy and soft, like it does when I shampoo and condition it...which is never because then it goes all fluffy and soft...

Lake McKenzie on Fraser is stunning, but not much in the way of aquatic life. Way too alkaline I believe.

Love Fraser. Eli Creek another place with the clearest of clear water.

A big sky day at Mangawhai Heads, North Island NZ (don't get me to pronounce that place name anywhere near correctly :) ).

Wow super clear and clean GSCO. Cracker. I've got some images from a recent trip to Tassie to get up. One of my fav places.

FR yes fishing is a thing there, can find quite a few websites on it: 1, 2, 3, 4. Looks like Trout and Salmon fishing is popular. The guys I worked with kept joking around and showing me pics of this largish Catfish looking thing that they said would nip people, but I only got chased by the Swans on the Lake, which borderline on being a pest.

Regarding beautiful places, my favourite will always be my random spot along Kawana:

And here I go again...even though the topic of China is on the nose, I always wanted to share some pics on Swellnet of where I used to go there, seems like a long time ago now:

It was surprisingly nice there. Water was very clean too.

yeah, awesome shots Garyg. I hear you on the 'clearwater capital'. I feel privileged to have spent good time in that area, and to have scored some amazing surfs there, one not too different to that 'babyfood peak' FR refers to

I have a Fujifilm XT20 mirrorless that has been gathering dust for 3 years. I really should start keeping it in the car to get some better quality shots than I do with this old iPhone 6
