Cabbage Tree Bay

Cabbage Tree Bay

This small rock pool is found in Cabbage Tree Bay, along the pathway between Manly and Shelly Beach on Sydney’s northern beaches. The sculpture/statue is known as The Oceanids. This image was a 30 second exposure nearly an hour before sunrise with the pool wall and sculpture lit up by a nearby street light.

This image has also won a photo of the week at photographer Steve Parish’s Photograph Australia website.

    Thanks everyone. I actually bought this as a print for myself. The black background around the print enhances the colours even more. I was most impressed with the result.

    Cheers.

    This is absolutely beautiful. I find sunrise/sunset shots to be a dime a dozen, but this has that extra something that makes it stand out from all the rest.
