This is a photograph (flood effected), and maybe the only one that survived in this family photo album effected by the flood. I have the cap on and my brother and I are looking out the door or window of a Sydney Manly Ferry...hopefully to see a better day! I think that this photo was taken on a ferry. Sydney harbour had many ferries and they were a joy to travel on, just for fun or to go to visit Manly. One would also catch a ferry to go to the Zoo, and that was a gread day out for children.
This week was the week we finally obtained a quote from the builder / insurance company to give us a quote on the restoration of our home, back from the floods.
The whole of our area was flooded on January 11, 2011. We have lived in a rental for the last four months. So many houses in our area and town have been effected the claim process has been so slow!! I heard that someone who worked in the insurance company that covers our home, say that only to date, completed 75% of the massive amount of claims that are on the "books" have been processed.
So we are still better off than many folk!
Water can be such a destructive force, but life as we know it cannot exist without it. What a dichotomy.
ReplyDeleteThe photograph itself would make an excellent album/cd cover. It is somewhat ethereal and allows one to make their own interpretation of its meaning.
