    You’ll have to tell me which group of rocks is Flemings Pool dear friend- coz I live just up the road from here! And I have a feeling these are the rocks I looked at a million times and enjoyed the way they dotted through the sea.(To tell you the truth, I wanted to knit up the colors into a warm sweater) What a gorgeous sunset and brilliant tones Davo!

  • David Hibberd replied

    Thank you Rosie! Its the swiming hole right at the end of Millers rd. I was about 20 meters closer to the pier.

    How beautiful. Looks like it’s on another planet. Are you really an alien, Davo? :))
    Why are the rocks dark on top and lighter around. All of them seem to be that way. So I wouldn’t think it’s that they’re wet, but maybe some composition?

  • David Hibberd replied

    Hahaha! No, but I am tipping there would be a few people that would disagree. The rocks are black Basalt and the white edging is coral. A kilometer or so futher down the road is the Altona pier. Many of the pylons supporting the pier have the same coral partway up them. Or at least they did when I was a kid. Thank you for you cool comment, you have started my day with a good laugh!

    A great result Dave, the “stuff” growing around the rocks makes them stand out wonderfully, ....well done.

  • Lois  Bryan

    Lois Bryan

    Gorgeous!! So glad you explained what the light color was on the sides of the rocks .. coral!!! How COOL!!! We get barnacles here .. nothing so wonderfully exotic or as beautiful as coral!!!

  • David Hibberd replied

    I guess I have never thought of the coral as exotic, but then this is where I grew up so it seemed ordinary.
    Thank you very much Lois.

    Without the coral, this would have been an interesting shot. With the coral, however, it is amazing. Great explanatory notes, too.

  • David Hibberd replied

    Thank you David. I wish I could say I planned this shot But I didn’t. it was more a spur of the moment thing.

    ...and they look like the bog mushrooms in my garden! Very good photo, nice contrasts (red sunset/dark clouds, dark basalt/light coral, rock/water)

  • David Hibberd replied

    OMG! I am seriously hoping bog mushrooms have a different meaning the UK to what it does here in Aus. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment.
