I like it – the waves are ‘unsettling’ rather than ‘full-force’ – giving a hint of the winter to come. Very well done.

click here for a trip to New Brighton
the lighthouse is just above the words “marine lake” on the sticking out bit.

My goodness, I forgot what the picture was by the time I scrolled down here LOL.
This is a brilliant piece of work Dave, very impressive.
Brett Foster, 4 months ago
This is pretty cool mate. I especially like the roughnes of the sea against the smoothness of the rest of the image. New Brighton – great little town but very expensive now.
Brett Foster, 4 months ago
Oops, I was thinking of the lighthouse, New Brighton, northern New South Wales, Australia. Remarkably similar!
PhotogeniquE IPA in reply to Brett Foster’s comment, 4 months ago
what a strange co-incidence. The property in our NB is anything but pricey! It’s a bit run-down.
dinghysailor1, 4 months ago
Looking back on my comment – i thought this one was rough! nicely contrasting shot with yesterday’s midstorm capture- would love to see one alongside the other!
nice work
