Venetian Reflections
The late afternoon sun of a lazy November day lights the upper storeys of multi-coloured Venetian houses and is reflected in the still water of a small canal. A gondola wears its “nightdress”, as does a small runabout.
Kororoit Creek Estuary
Kororoit Creek runs into Hobsons Bay between Williamstown and Altona west of Melbourne. A small fleet of fishing boats lies at anchor beside a row of shacks owned by numerous angling clubs. The estuary is filled with pelicans, black swans and white egrets, and lined with mangroves and basalt rocks.
Paduan Canal
The walls of whitewashed villas in the northern Italian town of Padua (Padova) are dappled with the late afternoon sun of Autumn. Drifts of russet leaves cover the surface of a small canal in the centre of town.
ZhuJiaJiao Arch
A beautifully proportioned and very old stone bridge straddles a canal in Zhu Jia Jiao, the “Venice of Shanghai”.
Gold Coast Waterway
Many residences on South East Queensland’s Gold Coast have cars in the garage on the street and a boat moored to a private jetty on the waterway. In most cases, there is a beautifully manicured lawn to the water’s edge, and a row of palm trees for shade.
Mermaid Waters
Mermaid Waters is a typical inland waterway system of Australia’s Gold Coast in South East Queensland. Residences feature private jetties for expensive cruisers and lush green lawns to the water’s edge.
Mullum at Mitcham
The Mullum Mullum Creek winds its way through bushland in the valley below the Melbourne eastern suburb of Mitcham.
ZhuJiaJiao Bend

ZhuJiaJiao Boats
