Sunday Selections



Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image.

The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life.  Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.


The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me (Elephant's Child).

My theme this week is Close to Home

The Mannum - Adelaide pipeline
 The pipeline began operating in 1955 and is 60 km long and supplies water to Torrens Valley and the Eastern foothills through a filtration plant at Anstey Hill.
