Darby beach - Wilsons Promontory
As always click on image for a more detailed/larger view
Starvation flat is the calcenerite cliffs and sand drifts above Darby beach and is a place that I had not visited for a few years, yet I always had hoped to bring home a photograph that sums the place up for me. Its only a short walk of about 2.7km but doing it 4 times in 12hrs with my gear got a little tedious for me…I’d still like to return to experience and shoot the dunes someday soon, until then, this remains one of a few photographs that I made this particular trip to summise the place for me.

Beautiful light and nailed that exposure Tone, looks like a long one. Why the four trips? Love those Prom shots.

4 trips…sunset/sunrise and a couple of other little incidents…such as forgetting things and things getting broken… lol
Robert Mullner
Fantastic scene Tony…Love this spot…you didn’t bump into the albino wombat did you???
Tony Middleton replied
cheers Rob ! nope not an albino one…if he was white I mate have seen him in the dark ! lol.
There are a lot of the paler wombats in that section of the prom though, and in particular the Cotter’s lake onwards area… they do look pretty cool :)
Lisa Jewell
When I first opened this glorious image, I thought there were people sitting on the sand. Yep, I need glasses ;)
The colours are stunning as always….and I love how my eye follows the sand, to the land with the sea in between reaching the pièce de résistance….the heavenly sky…..
Robert Mullner
Well there’s one that frequents Darbie Beach alot…in fact there’s a couple of photo’s on here by Bubblers…and he is pure blond…friendly little bugger…well you can go up and touch him, he’s not fussed….cheers, Rob.
Tony Middleton replied
sounds good Rob ! I was more alluding that if it was a white one that I saw (errr stumbled on/over) then I may have seen it in the dark… hehe
cheers,
tone :)

Love the stark contrast between heavily shadowed background hills,
the delicate whispy water tones,
and the richly warm rippled sand….
another beautiful scene, masterfully imaged Tony!
