Where did Python Pool go?

Python Pool was running! Where did it go?

Groan. That's a dad joke.

We visited Python pool after rain to finally, after 4 years see the waterfall. It did not fail to impress. In my opinion it should be running more often!

Python pool is an interesting beast. It's a great swimming hole, but only for a few weeks after rain. After than it gets green and scungy. But I saw a different side to Python pool today. The brown side! But at least the water was fresh.

Last time I went to take photos here, I was attacked by horse flies and was taking anit-histamines for a week.

This time, while trying to compose a different shot, I was attacked by meat ants. But I had to take the shot from right on top of their nests - all I had was thongs. So, I would run up, take a few shots, then run back into the water to kill the suckers that had latched on. This happened several times.

The other cool thing about this visit is that we ran into an old friend we hadn't seen since about a month after we arrived in town who had moved to Port Hedland. Ahh, the Pilbara, the people you meet and then meet again!

The one above is six vertical shots stitched together into a panorama using a nifty fifty. I've got to tell you, the more I use that nifty fifty, the more I love it! It's taken a while, you definately have to get used to it, but it's so much fun.

Below is just a good close up of the waterfall.
