I’ve been on a very relaxing sojourn down south the last three days hence the lack of photos. The good news though is that three days exploring the wonders of Pemberton, Manjimup and Bridgetown means I’m armed with quite a few images which I’ll start posting from tomorrow.
Crisp in name and nature. Gorgeous crepuscular rays soar majestically above the rain clouds surrounding the sunset at North Beach.

One of the biggest parts of photography, especially when it deals with nature, is waiting. It pays to have a good book in the glove box or snuggled in next to the lenses.

One appears to be experiencing some shenanigans with one’s computer this evening, so I’ve been forced to dip into the archives for an image.
This image is from the Gap in Albany, quite possibly my favourite place on earth. The average age of the rocks is ~3.5 billion years.

A bruised and laden sky, which ultimately resulted in a mere trickle (but a hell of a sunset) drifts south towards Perth, high above Bennion Beach.
As has been a running theme through this summer, another sunset image from Bennion Beach. By fast my favourite beach in Perth’s northern beaches, its isolation from the rest of the coast and even the city; plunged down a cliff, make it an isolated place in a sea of suburbia.
There’s something almost hypnotic about the relentless ebb and flow of the ocean with each passing wave. As you quickly learn living on the western edge of a continent, no two sunsets are the same and the same goes for each break of the wave; the ocean is sufficiently random that you never quite know where it will go, or what it will do next. South Trigg has a protruding sandbar which ensures interesting patterns and breaks.
A well weathered advisory sign adorns the ocean’s edge at South Trigg Beach. Those playing at home have possibly seen it on this site before, quite some time ago!
Proof that too much vignetting is never enough (sorry Ian).
Coastal grasses drift gracefully in the late afternoon breeze. The grasses keep the wandering dunes of the Swan Coastal Plain at least somewhat stable in the South Trigg Beach area.
I’ve been on a training course on the East Coast this past week where Internet access is apparently expensive ($24.95/day?) hence the lack of photos. Back to one’s regular schedule from today.
