Mosaic

More of an angled viewpoint of a busy textured area of drier orange sands, with flora of lime greens and rusty reds to a damper zone in the distance of grey- blue remnants of a lagoon lying in deeper grooves as the water recedes. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Oyster

This colourful sliver of harder rock stands in relief on its own platform above the green and blue mottled lagoon waters. A single solid heavier animal track runs straight through the whole image indicating it may not be as solid as it looks. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Gouged

Recent flooding in this area have etched shallow grooves into the sandy surface, some fringed with flora regrowth from lime greens to rusty browns giving an appearance of a raked beach. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Splayed

The sharp borders of the grey deltaic dampness as it stops abruptly at its limits against the orange sandy landscape, like an organic creature.
Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Reaching

Shallow carved streams slowly drying out in the sun, are fringed with regrowth. The stages of water levels are evident in the background bands of soft pastel hues as the dampness recedes.

Pancake

This colourful sliver of harder rock stands in relief on its own platform above the green and purplish mottled lagoon waters. A shallow stream gently curves around it. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Receding

So much texture of wet to dry, purple to orange bisected with shallow water filled grooves fringed with lime green regrowth. One larger groove looks like a palette knife carved by an artist into the artwork. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Infected

First sight of this colourful patch was wow! Reminiscent of bacteria on a petri dish, these splotchy patches of grasses from vivid scarlet to lime green were slowly overtaking the receding lagoon. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Outstretch

The sharp borders of the grey dampness as it stops abruptly at its limits against the orange sandy landscape, mimics an outstretching arm of a sea creature. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Lunar

This colourful sliver of harder rock stands in relief on its own platform above the green and purplish mottled lagoon waters. The deeper black to green waters surrounding it were full of birdlife and were mimicking moonscape textures.
Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Etched

A shallow stream gently carves its way through sandy low points leaving a border of yellow in its wake, leaching out to a drier lunar landscape mottled with purples and greys. This whole area just looked damp and splotchy with patches of new growth starting to reappear. Helicopter at 500-1000ft.

Textured

Vibrant green vegetation snakes through a lunar like landscape, life clinging to the margins of shallow streams. The arid surrounds are extremely textured, scoured from the recent flooding and ongoing recession of moisture.
