When I first saw these seaweed impressions left in the sand they struck me as looking like bare trees in a forest, or an art nouveau frieze. I decided to convert it to mono to bring out the contrast a little more, as even though the impressions were quite deep, the light was comparatively flat.
A post note! My husband has looked at this and said he thought water had made the pattern as it drained back out to sea – so I may have assumed the wrong artist, not seaweed!!
Another image from our trip away. I am endlessly fascinated by patterns made by wind or sea in the sand. The tide was coming in for this shot and this is just one pattern made by a single wave on the sand.. 🙂
In the last few days we managed to get a couple of nights away at the coast. We stayed at Waratah Bay which is near Wilsons Prom, the most southern point of mainland Australia. Today I was rewarded with an amazing sunrise. I had checked the tide times and knew high tide would be about 2 hours before first light – perfect! This image was taken about 15 minutes before actual sunrise…. 🙂
Yesterday was one of those beautiful late autumn mornings, fog filtering sunbeams through the trees at sunrise – just magical…
Last week I went back to Lauriston Reservoir to take some images of the other side of the spillway, but the roar of water caught my attention. One of the sluice gates was open and I found myself nearly hypnotised by the cascade of water hitting a structure that covers a massive tap. Taken with the tripod as high as it would go, me on tip toes, and this milky effect produced by tiny bubbles – please click in to see more detail.
Yesterday was an overcast day with many heavy rain clouds rolling in (for us winter isn’t far away) when I spotted this tree up on a hill. It’s shape was so perfect… 🙂
I saw this the other day at the end of an afternoon with the sun low in the sky. The scenery struck me as being very apt – the Camel’s Hump is a mamelon, formed about 6 million years ago when thick lava forced its way through a narrow vent…the clouds almost look like smoke from a volcano.
During the year or with different seasons, there are certain times of day where the light is just magical to us all. At this time for us in the southern hemisphere, sunrise is now getting later and later and the light is just simply beautiful…a moment captured in autumn 🙂
Well, harvest is over and I’m nearly back! I hadn’t realised with the house move and harvest on it’s tail just how exhausted I became. Anyhow, what I have realised, is that when I don’t get to go out and take images, there is something missing 🙂 So, today is a total abstract, taken this morning in between showers. The top of a capped fence with rain drops refracting light into a shaded area taken with the macro… 🙂
