Sculpted by Weather and Ocean

Shoreline

May 13, 2016

Shoreline
One more from the Botanical Beach/Botany Bay series. This continues the walk around the headland and towards Botany Bay. Much of the beach here is flat, rocky and littered with tide pools and hundreds of species of plants and animals. But I find the shoreline with its raw, rough texture and limited colour palette captivating.

I’m thinking that the black and white conversion below might not translate well on some screens, but at full size, the texture and detail come alive here on a 5K screen:

One View, Two Times

May 10, 2016

Campsite View 1

Campsite View 2

Twilight. Two photographs from the same beach.
But are these both morning photos, both evening photos, or one of each? Feel free to comment.

p.s.
We’ve seen also seen the view from this beach in a moment of stunning colour.

Oregon Grape Colour

May 6, 2016

Dry Leaf
A small treasure from our morning dog walk through the forest. The forest seems very dry for this time of year and many of the Oregon Grape leaves are brightly coloured like this one.

Cameron thought I might like to photograph it on a piece of white paper placed on the deck. Good idea. But he was fast asleep before I was finished…

Industrial Art by the Ferry Terminal

May 4, 2016

Art by the Ferry Terminal

If you’ve spent time waiting at the Vesuvius Terminal—and who hasn’t—you’ve probably watched the light play on this artwork. If not, be sure to check it out. In this photo though we’re looking through the cutouts in one of the metal fence panels and seeing bits of a building behind.

We often credit architects for ‘seeing’ the sightlines inside a building before the building has, well, been built. I wonder if the same is true in this case? Did the metal fabricator plan this see-through effect?
