Park Shady Spring
Park Shady Spring submitted by cromagnonman : Spring by candle light I didn't really cover this natural spring in candle wax! Composite of 25 images taken with 12 LED candles which I moved around a lot! Getting the full moon into the frame was just luck! CAMERA INFO Camera Canon EOS 450D Lens 10-20mm Focal Length 10.0 mm Aperture f/7.1 Exposure Time 103s ISO 400 Date Taken 2021-02-28 00:26:09 (Vote or comment on this photo)
I know very little about this site. A spring flows out of a small cave and across the footpath to join the main river below. An overhanging tree has been lavishly decorated with ribbons and the cave walls are crowded with offerings. These are recent customs.

I remember often walking here as a youngster in the 1980s. There were no such things here then and I thought it to be a mine adit. I would welcome anyone who knows anything about it to add their comments here.

My folks used to live in Mount Hawke, I would walk here regularly in the early 80s and can confirm that it was a mine adit and there were no ribbons tied to the trees or other offerings back then.
