A lot has been unsettled in my life of late.
When that happens I like to go to the beach.
Seeing the water and old structures like this remind me that time exists to help us with our anxiety.
Time is a cushion for our fear.
We can lay our problems down on it and let it sooth them away with its gentle ebb and flow.
Mental note: Have faith in time.

G’day all, my name is Melinda but my mates call me Mel, so feel free. I live by the beach in Elwood, Victoria, Australia. I contribute to a few charities as a Photojournalist, namely HEAL Africa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Any of my Africa stuff’s profits go to them. So far the sales have bought 7 operations and heaps more so thanks for everyone’s support. I also take a mean beach shot (well try to).

The beach is the best place to be when you need to heal, imho. Great healing image, Mel!
Thanks Queen of Mels. A bit different to the SS Dicky huh? :)

nice shot mel and yes the beach has a real calming effect which comes out here. Nice texture and detail on the old pier structure (man?) contrasting with the silky smooth water and sky. (nature?)
Hiya Mark. Thanks for picking up the contrast of themes, that’s what i was going for :)

beautiful weathered textured wood which pulls you straight out to the horizon which you carefully lined up – ( not sure about the bits of cloud ! ) – Dave
I appreciate your comment David. Yep the clouds were a ‘decision’ for me. I’m glad they are there but I certainly see the ‘argument’ for leaving them out. It was one of those cases where I probably needed a little bit more in the sky to justify them, if you know what I mean.
