Blue pool and a moon
Sydney is not only blessed by a beautiful coastline providing us with countless beaches, but also some of these beaches have a “rock pool” at the headland. These rock pools provide a great place for the locals to take a dip in the ocean without the waves.
Photo Taken: 19-Nov-2006
Time: 6am
Conditions: Calm, beautiful pre dawn….
Blue pool and a moon belongs to the following groups:
Australian Contemporary Photography, First Things, Out of the Blue (75%+ Blue), Sunrise, Sunset, Sydney and Sydney's Northern Beaches Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Mandy Fell
totally stunning. Were these the real colours or have you done some post processing work on them?
ozczecho replied
Hi Mandy, I took a little liberty with the white balance….but there is only limited stuff you can do….I shoot RAW, so WB adj was done prior to photoshop. In PS I adjusted the curves and upped the saturation a little….thats about it. I guess it was just the right timing. I havent managed to replicate the time again :-)...

Per Ove Sleen
So calm and beautiful.
There is something special about the sea. I live by the sea, and have done so all my life. Spending time inland always gives me the feeling of slowly being suffocated, and I need to make for the coast. Not even lakes can satisfy my need for open space, salty water and the smell of eternally rotting seaweed and fish.
This picture though might have made such a inland stay a bit more bearable if it was really necessary. I wold have plastered it all over my wall.
You see it is beautiful, and you can nearly smell the coast :-)

ozczecho replied
Ian, its South Curl Curl – Northern Beaches in Sydney. Leave nice and early and enjoy. All the best.
Ian James
Thanks,
Just checked it out on google earth and it looks cool there appear to be two pool one eith end of the beach. I like the look of the one to the end furthest awy from sydney lots of rock and crashing waves. It looks like this could be our first stop on the way out of Sydney.
ozczecho replied
Both end offer something different. I was meant to meet my friend at the Northern End but missed the entry so I ended up at the Southern end and took this shot. Sydney is blessed with a lot of beach rock pools…each with its own character :-)
