Off Albany
Taken on a deep sea fishing extravaganza off the coast at Albany, WA. There is a light house built decades ago on the Island which would have mean’t hard work at the time I’m sure. It was a rough day out there which I loved, here the seas were less choppy sheltered by the Island.
Catch of the day was a 20 Kilo King fish (by me) who nearly fell off the other side of the boat when it emerged with help from the skipper. The skipper also won the catch as I was heading up to Perth the same day.
Thank you for looking :D

That deep blue of the sea is both beautiful and so inviting, makes me want to be there when I see Autumn advancing outside at the moment,
Regards, Rod.

Isn’t it strange how our seasons are opposites Rod. I get the same foreboading when you head toward summer there! Thank you for your appreciated comment. Regards, Tai
