Gorgeous Garth!
Garth Smith replied
Thank you Renee, glad you like it.
Vicki Ferrari
Beautiful photography Garth! And the way you have captured the spray off the waves, with the light behind! That colouring is amazing! Great shot Garth!! :)) Is it cold down there? Are your fingers freezing on the way to the shutter button?! It has been quite cool up here at night though the last two days have been lovely! :)
Garth Smith replied
Thank you very much Vicki. Greatly appreciated.
This morning it was quite warm considering the time of year, although I wouldnt have liked to have fallen in the sea! We did have warm coats on but only because we were here before daylight. Once the sun was up for an hour or two it was coats off and down to a t-shirt and a polarfleece.(jeans too of course LOL)
Vicki Ferrari
I would hope so!!! Otherwise you may get carted off for indecent exposure! And not from the camera!! LOL! What a visual!! LOLOLOL
Garth Smith replied
To be honest Vicki, in this spot we could walk around all day butt naked and not a soul would see us. No chance of being booked at all. Thats how private this place is. I am guessing weeks, maybe months go by without a soul being where we were today. Gees its a bugger having to live somewhere that we can still easily find places like that.!!
