Clear water

Thanks very much Rosina and I am delighted that you like it. Season’s greetings from the golden west. Peter

Hi Raquel and very many thanks for the kind words. Peter

Pleased to meet you Jesika and many thanks for dropping in and commenting. Much appreciated. Best wishes, Peter

Patricia! Lovely to see you again and I hope that your Christmas, too, was a very enjoyable one. At least we had a mild day for a change – the last two Christmas Days have been around 40C which is a bit over the top! Thanks for dropping in and for the lovely words – that is a beautiful part of our south west coast. All best wishes for 2009, Peter

Thanks Sonia. You should see it when it’s REALLY rough!! Peter

Very many thanks Bev – generous words indeed that I greatly appreciate. Best wishes, Peter

Good to see you again Warren and compliments of the season mate. Thanks for the visit and kind words. This is one of those places where there’s always something going on that’s worth photographing. Regards, Peter

Thanks very much Lori and this is one of our favourite spots that we have visited at least once a year for the last 35 years. In the early days the boardwalk and bridge didn’t exist so we had to scramble over the rocks and then across a rickety old wooden plank to get to where I was standing to take this photo! Hugs

Glad you like it Pauline and thanks heaps for coming across to see it! Hope it wasn’t too windy for you!! LOL Did you have a nice Christmas? Peter

Thanks very much Tainia. You and I seem to hunt out the same kind of scenery wherever we go. When we were travelling a lot back in the 80’s our first port of call in a new area was always the local Tourist Bureau, both to get maps and to pick the brains of the people working there. Then, for several years (when we were doing school photography) I was also a photo journalist for a couple of Australia wide travel magazines (Caravan World was one of them). Now I can’t help myself – it’s in my blood!! LOL Hugs, Peter

It was a job and a half, for sure. Previously only fishermen were brave (or foolhardy) enough to scramble over the rocks and then dare to cross the very shaky single wooden plank that served as the bridge across the swirling water. Over the years several were swept off the rocks by unexpected king waves and never seen again, so it was not a place for the faint hearted.
With regard to photographing waves I have never been one for making the water look milky and (to my eyes) unnatural. I prefer to picture flowing water as I see it, with plenty of obvious movement. Many thanks for looking in and for the interest. Peter

Very many thanks Carol. Nice of you to say so. Peter

Many thanks Wanda. We were visiting this area long before the boardwalk and bridge were built and it was VERY spectacular then! Peter

Thanks very much Irene. It’s a highly dangerous stretch of coast with king waves occurring unexpectedly. Many an unwary fisherman has been swept off the rocks and drowned.
