Daily Photo – Sky Reflection along the Silver Stream

It was one of those quiet, midweek afternoons with nothing much out of the ordinary happening, and I found myself near the Silver Stream River, which flows close to the suburb, or town, of Mosgiel. I parked the car and set off along a path that followed the river with an easy sort of confidence. In the still of the afternoon, the sky reflected in the river as it gently ambled past lush paddocks, farm machinery, and the Maungatua Range in the distance.

Now and then I’d cross paths with another person out for a wander, and we’d swap a “hello” before continuing on our separate ways. Aside from that, it was just me and the quiet, taking it all in. I kept moving, occasionally stopping for a closer look at something that caught my eye, or for the odd short conversation along the way. It was an unhurried sort of stroll, the kind that doesn’t demand much from you at all. In time, though, the daylight started to slip away, and I figured it was probably wise to turn around and work my way back to the car.
