Photographer's Note
Please open both photos in new tabs for the better versions.
Between where I live and Canberra there is a large lake (Lake George) that these days, due to climate change, only gets water in it occasionally. It was dry for several years during the drought that ended last year.
This year it has had a good lot of water flowing in as you can see in both photos.
If you'd visited Lake George 100 years ago you would have found water front guest houses and boats taking people for cruises on the lake.
These days the lake is dived into fenced paddocks for grazing sheep when the lake is dry.
Those yellow flowers are wattles (Acacia sp) and at the bottom of the hill are vineyards. Across the other side of the lake in both photos you can see wind generators.
There is another view in the WS.

Hello Ian,
The yellow flowers make this qualify for main upload, but both photos give us a nice view of the lake. The impressive number of wind generators is better seen in the WS.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Ian,
I find your second picture more beautiful than your main picture.
But the photographer makes his choose.
But both pictures are excellent taken and good made
Composition and presentation are pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Hi Ian,
Climate changes are affecting a lot of countries around the world. The point of view is showing the details of the hill, of the valley and of lake George. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Ian,
A really beautiful view of the lake and all shades of green on the hill slopes and further back. Nature is really dependent on weather which can't be trusted these days.

Hello Ian,
Climate change is having a dramatic effect all over the world but you must have a very visual reminder here, with the fluctuations in the level of water in Lake George.
I like how you have used the slope as a very effective f/g in your main photograph, creating an excellent sense of depth.
Your w/s is also a fine record of the lake and surrounding area.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

a lake with my name... hahaha.
nice view with the lake that looks huge here in your photos. many details to explore, the quantity of water is a typical aspect of the droughts. here we are facing a terrible drought too.
take care

Hi Ian,
Both views are amazing. Wonderful natural scenery,
Your title made me smile although the note makes everything clear, the first impression is strange.
Great colors and optimal level of contrast.
Excellent work,
M

Hello Ian,
From the title I knew there is differences with water levels, during times. A phenomenon happening all around the globe, due to climate change.
High POV with the slope in the foreground enabled under a good DOF and distant sight's.
Have a nice hiolidays sunday,
Ike
