windswept pylon

windswept pylon

This was taken at Cottesloe Beach a week ago.

This concrete pylon, just off the Cottesloe beach, was originally built in the 1930s to anchor a shark net. However, after being battered by wind and waves for many years, it is looking rather worse for wear. Apparently the Cottesloe town council were intending to remove it, believing it was a dangerous to swimmers. However, after a public backlash, they are now intending to spend $172,000 to restore it.

This shot was taken just after sunset, with a strong sea-breeze blowing, and a very hazy sky.
