    Another beaut Mel. Looks like one of those nightmare scenarios in dreams where you are stuck out after the bridge has collapsed (yet you manage to reach the next portion on the right!) Lovely and calm and the pastel tones are very soothing.

    It’s really fantastic. I love that soft look that you get with the water but nothing else. I try but fail every time. This is glorious.

    Beautiful Mel.
    I went into a camera store yesterday, and noticed a photo of Dicky Beach up on the wall, and thought of you, and thought, yours are better, the angle, the colours, the feel. Thanks for the learning curve of what makes a photo good and great :)

    Was it a boat ramp of some description?

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    I suspect they used to launch small boats from this, but can’t be certain. Thanks, ToastedGhost!!
