This is an early evening shot I took on Christmas day 2006 down at one of the many small beaches along the Mount Eliza stretch of coast.
-
The fog that rolls in over the land from Western Port Bay (Victoria) is just wonderful. Here, I took a shot along the boardwalk over the mangroves of Bittern. It was an incredibly frosty morning and the sun was barely able to show its self through the fog.
-
I’m not actually sure why I called this ‘Memories of Yesterday’. It is probably to do with the ghostly shadows of a man and his dog on the jetty. Perhaps I could have called it a man and his dog and let the viewer figure out why. In any case, I like the softness and almost pastel colours of this image. It was shot down at Sorrento (Victoria) one evening.

I knew that there was going to be a full moon rising on the evening that I shot this, but as the day grew to a close, the clouds came rolling in. By the time the sun was down, there was very little clear sky left. Lucky for me the moon, when it did eventually rise, managed to peak through a gap and show itself. The time of night, along with all of the other elements really made the blues come to life.

Gunnamatta Beach is a long stretching surf beach on the southern coast of the Mornington Peninsula. It has high sand dunes, long stretches of sand, and very rugged outcrops of rock. Most times of the year it’s a quite place where you can go to get away from things. This is Gunnamatta beach one autumn morning.

The Dandenong Ranges (Victoria) are host to many of Melbourne’s most wonderful gardens, landscaped in ways you aren’t likely to find anywhere else in the region. During Autumn, some of these gardens really show themselves off and are a place perfect for quiet reflection and to take in all the beauty of nature.

Sometimes the sky lights up in ways you least expect. As was the case on this morning. When I got there, the clouds seemed to be everywhere, and the worst place to have them for sunrise or sunset is on the horizon; and there was plenty on the horizon. But as I waited, the clouds slowly thinned and drifted, moving further away from the horizon at a fast rate of knots. The result was a spectacular and bright pre-sunrise lightshow.

I took this photo a little while ago one morning at Emerald Lake (Victoria). The sun had just pushed over the hills and was reflecting beautifully off the water. It was a very pleasant morning.
-
The more I look through my photographs; the more I see just how much time I’ve spent at this location. This is a nice warm Spring sunrise over the Cameron’s Bight jetty looking across to Arthurs Seat.

Standing atop the cliffs at Mornington Peninsula’s southern most tip, the Cape Schanck lighthouse is a warning that this piece of coastline is not to be messed with. It’s not easy getting to this point of coast when there is very little light and an unpredictable tide. Lucky for me the sky provided a nice show of colour to make the effort worth it.
-
This is another case of right place right time. I normally check the tides to see where they will be at sunrise and sunset, but as my fiance and I were staying near Geelong for a few days, I didn’t bring a tide chart with me and so I had to take guesses as to where it would likely be. Anyway, at the last minute I decided to head down to Point Lonsdale to take a few shots of the lighthouse and to my delight the tide was out and slowly creeping in. By the time I finished shooting, I was walking through water to get back to the shore.

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.
