Dusk gathers us in

Looking into Wangi Bay, on Lake Macquarie, late on Saturday afternoon.

Black and White really does bring out the details. Looks like a pretty calm and peaceful scene.

Nice one Julie. Interesting name "Wangi Bay". Sounds aboriginal. I wonder what it means.

The village on the bay is Wangi Wangi. We have a number of places like this: Wagga Wagga, Kurri Kurri come to mind.

The council website says: "The word Wangi has been translated variously as water, night owl or dark green tree so that Wangi Wangi would mean place of much water, many night owls or many dark green trees. Captain Dangar's 1826 sketch of the Lake marked Wangi Point as 'Wonde Wonde'. "

The letter g is the soft variation.
