Winkipop
I went down to Winkipop (near Bell’s Beach) yesterday because I heard about a whale sighting. No whales but massive surf. I just kept shooting away as each set of massive waves rolled in. There were some very accomplished surfers out there who weren’t daunted by the huge swell.
Shot with a Nikon D300 with 80-200mm lens with 1.7x extender.

When I went down to Winkipop,
I saw the ocean blue,
No whale or dolphin did I spy,
But maybe I saw you.
Winkipop, WInkipop, the Wombles all declare,
Without a doubt, they all shout, Uncle Bulgaria – he was there!
(Great images!)

Great shots, Heather!! This brings back memories! I surfed here in the ‘70s – now I surf at Phillip Island, where we were lucky enough to have a whale in the water a few weeks ago, about 75 m from where we surfed!! (Yes, I took photos before and after, there’s one on RB!) And apparently, there have been heaps of whales about … so I’m looking forward to seeing some shots from you here sometime!!
