Ahhhh yea, I love the smell, you know that really sweet smell..We only 5 minutes from it now, feels like heaven…Beautiful shot Mel..Don’t you just love being an Aussie…
I could never live away from the ocean either….really love this with the light which brings out the beautiful windswept spray…gorgeous matey!!! Love the pano format too!!!
living in the North East of England we get the north sea storms this makes me feel like I’m standing on our beach but I bet it is a lot warmer, great tones love the spin drift of the tops of the waves
I’ll bet it was a lot warmer! As you can see, there are swimmers, and I suspect I probably wasn’t wearing much clothing either…..as we tend to do in the sub-tropics….

Glorious indeed Mel. That top wave is just gorgeous the way it holds the light and sprays.
You do get some enviable waves there and the differing heights of them all works very well indeed.
