Good morning gentlemen!
In Australia, it is customary for friends to meet up on a Sunday morning for breakfast to catch up and “share the latest goss”. In keeping with this very fine tradition, these cormorants find themselves in a similar setting at sunrise at one of my favourite piers – the one at North point. Looking somewhat [...]
North Point Pier
This looks like we might have a very pier filled week. Pictured above is one of the smaller piers next to the boat launch at North Point, where North Road meets the beach between Elwood and Brighton. This humble little steel structure has a lot going for it. This spot has one of the best [...]
Bridge under tempestuous skies
Located at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston falls within the Greater Melbourne Area and offers one of the more subdued yet very well developed beaches around Melbourne’s coastline. Kananook Creek empties out into Port Phillip Bay as it meets the Tasman Sea under Landmark Bridge pictured here shot in the dying hours of [...]
Beachfront at the Bay of Islands
The Bay of Islands lies further west of Port Campbell and is another area with a concentration of limestone pinnacles jutting out of the water in the ocean just off the mainland. This stretch of sandy beach is one of the few places where you can get close to these limestone stacks without getting your [...]
Fremantle Town Hall
Cities are nice to live in, but there is something charming about leaving it all behind to visit a smaller town close by. Melbourne is blessed with Geelong. Perth in Western Australia is blessed with among the prettiest of them all – Fremantle. Known among the locals affectionately as “Freo”, and named after the English [...]
Modernism amidst classicism
Generally when looking down a pier, one tends to look into the ocean from the shore. Rarely does one ever look from the waters into the shore. Hence, my attempt on Saturday was to try to capture a second perspective. Still hanging out on a cold sunset off the edge of Beaconsfield Parade in Port [...]
A view from above
Its been a wee bit gloomy over the past week. Granted, its winter, but its also the coldest and wettest on record for a while now. No one’s is going to complain about the wetness… Victoria has been in drought for over 10 years now, and we needed all the rain that we got, and [...]
Under from Down Under
Perhaps a bit of a cliché shot, but after being locked up at home for a week, I was going stir crazy, and foot injury or not, I badly needed to get out. I made my way down to a part of Beaconsfield Parade that I have often walked past, but rarely stopped to admire [...]
Big boat to Tassie
I owe my regular readers and followers an apology. I haven’t posted since Tuesday, and I apologise. It has been a combination of being overloaded at work, not being able to get outside to take pictures, and having to cope with a foot injury that has contributed to this. However, on the upside, I had [...]
The Collapsed Arch
If you ever needed evidence of erosion on the surf coast, the remnants of the Island Arch would rank at the top. This shot was taken in April 2010 during my umpteenth visit to the surf coast (Great Ocean Road has a way of calling you back if you’re a landscape or seascape photographer). Whe [...]
Apostles at sunrise
They used to be called several different things – the Twelve Apostles, the Sow and her Piglets – but they have been disappearing as Victoria’s surf coast continues to fall into the Southern Ocean. The best view of what is left of the Apostles is best seen from the shoreline at the bottom of the [...]
Parked in the port
An one more shot from Sunday morning, all thanks to Graham. Yet enother view of the boats moored in Port Philip Yacht Club on a bright, beautiful Mellbourne morning. There is a very good reason as to why Melbourne ranks as one of the most livable cities in the world, and definitely Australia’s most livable [...]
Morning at the marina
It pays to get up early in the morning. From the somewhat exclusive Port Philip Yacht Club, thanks to a passerby named Graham, I managed to slip in for a few minutes to get a few shots over a 10 minute period. This is one of those shots on a day with near perfect balance [...]
The Grotto
Victoria’s Great Ocean Road is one of my favourite local haunts. I tend to make at least two trips a year there, be it for a few days, or just as a day trip. The Grotto is one of the many features of the surf coast hidden away off the highway, and is perhaps home [...]
