I’m a little worried that I may be developing a bit of a furniture fetish!

The rain finally eased up toady…..probably because it was back to work after easter..lol / Anyway, I managed to get out after dinner. Went to Merewether Baths and because today was ‘cleaning day’ the pool was empty so I could actually get into it without getting too wet the water was just up to my knees I got a few pics before it was too dark. I am going to post 2 shots of the pump house, both have a very different feel about them and since one of the objects of this site is to actually sell art something I have not been successful with as of late… I wanted to put up both as they will probably appeal to different people…I hope!

I often get questions about the pump house and the diving blocks at Merewether Beach so I found out a bit of info….. 1935 / At a cost of 2,600 pounds, Merewether Ocean Baths, acclaimed as the ‘largest of their kind in the State’ opened as part of the Merewether Golden Jubilee celebrations in November. There was a procession in fancy dress from the Council chambers to the baths. Considered ‘the greatest advertisement for Merewether as a residential suburb’, the new baths had been built further seaward and a little to the south of the older Merewether baths on the same rock platform. At 110 yards by 90 yards, they were ‘big enough to hold the larger swimming events’ and separated into a main pool and a children’s pool by a wide promenade. The main pool nearest the sea was 110 yards long and 55 yards wide, while the shore portion was 110 yards long and 35 yards wide. The 3,500 pounds for relief work on the baths had been paid by the NSW government. Excavation of the baths promised to yield 6,000 to 7,000 cubic yards of stone valued at 2,500 pounds. Merewether Council was seeking a further government loan to cover the construction of dressing-sheds at the baths. The new baths became central to the life of the community and prompted more people from the Lower Hunter district to visit Merewether.

Sunset at Merewether Baths. The pool was empty and I managed to get a few shots from inside it before I was told to get out.

Caught the last sunrise before the end of daylight savings…..thankfully the rain stopped and some colour popped through the clouds to make it all worth while ;0)

Tonight’s sunset at Merewether Beach. Canon EOS450D / ND400 filter / ISO100 / f/8 / 50sec Processing: / Add a gradient filter to bring out some detail in the sky. Then / Duplicate Layer, set blend mode to Overlay and go Filter>Other>High Pass and use a radius of approx 20 pixels. Click OK to accept. Hold down the Alt key and add a new vector mask at the bottom of the layers palette to assign a black (hide all) mask to the layer. Then its a matter of selecting the paintbrush and painting back in the detail on selected parts of the image. I chose the sand/rock in the foreground and the clouds. Finally add a Vibrance layer to pump up the colours a tad and finish with some noise reduction if necessary. ;0)

King tides this weekend and lots of rain. I managed to duck out for an hour and catch a few shots. I took my old FujiFilm down to the beach – way too much sea spray for the new baby to go.

I only had one night in Newcastle before heading to Hunter Valley. So, I pick this pool due to it sizes and beauties. A larger size will come soon.
