269/365 2025 Manning River

Manning River (Biripi: Boolumbahtee), an open and trained mature wave dominated barrier estuary, is located in the Northern Tablelands and Mid North Coast districts of New South Wales, Australia. It is the only double delta river in the southern hemisphere in which there are two permanent entrances to the river, one at Old Bar and another at Harrington, and is famously one of only two rivers in the world to have permanent multiple entrances with the other being the Nile river in Egypt.

Sunday challenge 167 - Near and far
Take two photos of the same subject. One from close-up and one from afar. You can use the zoom feature of your camera or you can take the two photos the old fashioned way, using your feet to transport you between shots (sneaker zoom). Post your favorite to the challenge and post the other shot as a PiP. Let us know why you prefer one shot over the other.

I prefer this photo as it is more dynamic, with the distracting features excluded... the tube for unused fishing lines and the warning signs.
