A simple, yet magical astronomical phenomina. When there is a very thin crecent moon, the earth reflecets enough light to illuminate the dark part of the moon just a little. This earth shine makes the grey disc of the moon visible along size the sliver of light. Add a deep purple sky and a bit of prom ridge line and I reckon you have a pretty amazing sight.

Sealers Cove was first visited by George Bass in 1798 and in keeping with the culture of the time he named it in accord with what commercial exploitation could be gained from it. Within a year a business associate of Bass’s had commenced sealing with activity peaking a few years later when up to 200 boats a year plied their trade in what was by then known as Bass Strait. By 1806 the population was so decimated that it was no longer profitable so attention was turned onto annihilating the whale and shearwater population instead (Shearwaters are commonly known as Muttonbirds in reference to their commercial value, these amazing birds migrate 15,000km every year between Bass Strait and the Berring Sea). This in turn was followed by logging with the Cove at one stage supporting a population of 60 souls, intent on deforesting it. Thankfully Wilsons Promontory National and Marine Park now protects these waters and once again nature is being left to run its course. This particular shot was taken the day after 140mm of rain fell and you can see the tanin stained water coming out Sealers Creek and the way the entire cove has been diluted in colour compared to the more aqua water beyond the entrance. Earlier that morning I tragically counted 54 dead shearwaters on the beach that had succumbed to the previous day’s storm.

Seasons can be very important in photography. This shot for instance was taken in mid winter and the increased rainfall at this time of year had increased the flow of Sealers Creek which in turn had washed more sand out into the cove. The effect of this was a much lower beach which allowed me to get right under this branch and take full advantage of the first rays reflecting off the sand onto its underside. When I last visited in mid summer the gap under this tree was more like 6 inches than 6 feet making a similar shot impossible.

This shot happened quite serendipitously while taking another shot (see Dawn – Sealers Cove). For me it perfectly encapsulates the ideal of what our relationship with nature should be. A simple, childlike, and playful appreciation of natures beauty both mentally and physically.

This Panorama was taken at Sealer’s Cove on the east coast of Wilsons Promontory National Park. I thought it was great to have the natural patterns in the sand and water, with the sets of couples walking in the distance.

It took us a day to walk in and out with the out part finishing a couple of hours after dark. This was not by design, but we could not walk any faster. It was a glorious trip, nit to be missed by any who can do it. One of our grandchildren has now done it in two days staying overnight at Sealers Cove and he thought it easy. Taken with Pentax camera and Pentax 28 mm shift lens on Kodachrome film.

Sea mist drifting into Sealers Cove. Whilst resting in the shade after hiking to Sealers Cove, we watched huge amounts of mist floating into the cove, gently floating across the water, and across the nearby hills. A great sight to see!
