    This is a brilliant piece of work Dave, very impressive.

  • Brett Foster

    Brett Foster, 7 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

    Brett Foster, 7 months ago

    Oops, I was thinking of the lighthouse, New Brighton, northern New South Wales, Australia. Remarkably similar!

  • PhotogeniquE IPA

    PhotogeniquE IPA in reply to Brett Foster’s comment, 7 months ago

    what a strange co-incidence. The property in our NB is anything but pricey! It’s a bit run-down.
