    Nice one drec, looks like a half-sepia tone if not for the lights under the bridge at the right.

    Cheers. It’s pretty much straight out of the camera this, except for bit of a crop. This park will be worth a visit again for sure.

    Lovin the slick water across the sand and how the lights illuminate it.

    Thank you. I would have stayed a little longer but there was some fine rain. It’d be worth a look on the low tide.

    Thank you. The re-development of this area is a much needed improvement for Southport. 24 hour on-site security, open spaces and a couple of cool areas yet to be completed.

    Congratulations on your festure, Derek. I love the water in this image, it truly does look like molten metal. :)

    Thank you. Had to stop shooting due to rain and this area is one of my favourite spots to chase storms from now.
