Fingal Head Dawn group shoot with Redbubble on Sunday 27/07/2008
The Fingal Head Lighthouse was erected in 1872 of stone, and painted white, the tower had a fixed white light of 1,000 candelas. Even though the light tower is not high and it is built on a low headland the light is effective as it is built on one of the most easterly points of Australia with plenty of deep water offshore. The original kerosene wick burner was converted to automatic acetylene operation in 1920 with an output of 1,500 candelas and altered to group flashing. The one keeper was withdrawn at this time. There is no record of the opening of this light considered so insignificant that apparently the first keeper did not think the matter of sufficient importance to take a record of the official opening. lighthouse.net.au This image created with the assistance of Miles D.

Fingal Headland Dawn Shoot – Sunday 27 July 2008 Three light elements are present in this shot…the sun coming up, the moon fading and manmade light! As the sun comes up, so the moon fades…. That sparkle you see in the sky is the moon! Best viewed LARGE
Ok…another Fingal shot. I can really say that this is one of my top 5 locations. Just love the versatility it provides. This shot has been PP using CS3 tilt shift technique. If you need explanations how that works you best ask Mel ...hehe / Let me know what you think? / Make sure you check the colour version too
Fingal Fingal is a North American Otter. I would love to be able to report that I took this shot on a Scottish loch somewhere. Well, that’s almost true. His home is the Scottish Sealife Sanctuary on Loch Creran on the West Coast of Scotland. The sanctuary’s main work is the rescue and repatriation of seal pups, abandoned by their mothers around Scotland’s extensive coastline. There is also a well-stocked aquarium and the Otter sanctuary there. Sadly, Fingal’s sister and companion Sula died last winter, so he’s all alone now (sob), apart from thousands of adoring visitors that is. Date: 20th August 2008 Fingal was featured by The Scots Are Coming group. Click here to see another shot of Fingal Looks great as a Greeting card …
Taken at Fingal Headland, Tweed, NSW.
Part of Tomaree National Park and a popular holiday and eco-tourism retreat just 2.5 hours drive north of Sydney and 30 minutes from Newcastle airport. This beach (Fingal Bay) forms part of the day long walk from Tomaree Head (pictured) to the stockton sand dunes. Add another day if you intend walking to the mouth of the Hunter River at Newcastle. The walk is easy and these times are for liesurely walkers, giving ample time for swimming and a stop at the Blue Juice Cafe at Anna Bay!

This headland is an outcrop of Tertiary basalt aged 22 – 24 m.y. – part of the widespread volcanic activity in northeastern NSW and southeastern Qld which produced many well known volcanic features. The fresh basalt appears dark in colour due to its mineral content (high in plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, low in silica). The lava formed vertically-jointed columns through contraction due to cooling while stationary (rather than flowing). The joints (cracks) are exposed today as the outlines of mostly 6-sided columns, but some appear to have 3, 4, 5 and 7 sides. Similar columns also occur in basalt at nearby Burleigh Head, SE Qld, where large columnar blocks have tumbled downslope to the sea and are being broken up into rounded boulders by wave action. The columns of rhyolite at the Glasshouse Mtns and Mt French, Qld, and of dolerite at Cradle Mtn, Tas, are also similar in origin and form. Took this photo while I was on a business trip to the Goldcoast. Drove down from Broadbeach where I was staying to capture this early sunrise shot. The surf over the weekend was reported as one of the most dangerous and some of the Goldcoast beaches were closed as reported by the Goldcoast radio. You can see from the size of the waves splashing over the rocks and the 2 daring rock fishermen fishing,oblivous of the surrounding surf. The size of the giant basalt columns also dwarfs the 2 fishermen.
Took this one on my second trip to Fingal head in 3 days yesterday morning. The swell that day was incredible. Right where I was standing high on the cliff edge taking this picture, I was almost washed off by a 5m freak wave that came along.
Standing on the southern side of Fingal Head with the lights of Kingscliff off in the distance. It was fairly dark when I took this long exposure, flattening the ocean and blurring the clouds. Lately I seem to get out with the camera on Fridays. Lucky as that’s what tomorrow is. I might head back down to Fingal
The remains of previous wild seas are left on the rocks at Fingal Head, Northern New South Wales. A spot worthy of more time devoted to. It seems to have come out darker on RB than in the Fingal Gallery Here Is it RB or my monitor?
