Sun and Stone
After shooting the early light of the morning down at Cape Schanck I thought I’d take a quick shot of the sun light reflecting off the large boulders in this little cove. I love the warm colours and shapes of wet boulders in the sun. If you ever go down to this place when the tied is high and the weather a little on the wild side, the massive waves that come crashing in to this little space throw these boulders around making an awesome rumbling sound. A must see if you live close enough to the Mornington Peninsula.

Wonderful light. The light on the rocks with the movement of the water and the low sun are a wonderful combination. I think maybe I am on an other planet…...

Beautiflly atmospheric and tranquil sunset scene, Sam.
love the foreground interst of water-smoothed rocks.
Superb photoart!
I’m also a photographer
Like you, I couldn’t paint – but last year, I thought I’d like to be able to create a painting to rival my photoart. So I picked up a brush and pencil, and now I’m hooked on watercolours!!
Regards
Colin.
