Balnarring Beach for Treasure Tuesday

 


It was a high tide on the weekend. So there were only a few locations worth visiting.


I did not get the look I want. There will be more practices in the future.

Cadillac Gorge in San Remo for Water H2O Thursday

 


I have different versions of the landscape over the years. This was taken 3 years ago. I compare this shot to the one I took last year which was completely opposite to this frame shown above.

Magic land in Cape Woolamai Surf Beach for Water H2O Thursday

 


The rising tide is invading the beach Joel and I are walking on. Every 10 minutes, a large wave comes up a few more metres onshore. The receding water looks mesmerising.

Childer's Cove in Mepunga Coast for Sunday Best

 


Squatting in this beach where 22 children were massacred was not really a good feeling.

Stingy Bay for Sky Friday

 


This is only 1.3 km from my unit in Warrnambool. So I often come here for a stroll straight after my Thai Dinner. I found a lot of dog poo on the beach though. Sad.

Balnarring Beach Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 


On the day, Joel and I were supposed to visit the abandoned submarine in Hastings. It turned out the wreckage was already removed! It was so upsetting. So we moved quickly to this nearby beach before sunset took place.

Bays of Islands in Sorrento, Melbourne for Water H2O Thursday

 



Panorama by drone shot. Quite fun. Normally harsh day time sun is a no no for landscape photographers. But it is not a bad thing for drone though. Now I would need to stock ND filters and polariser for better image quality with the drone lens. The sensor is way too small with low dynamic range. I gonna start doing videos which is a new learning curve for me too.

At least this hot summer wont be too boring for me. Drone to drive around the state for entertainment.

Sierra Navada Rocks sunset for Skywatch Friday

 


1900: The Sierra Nevada sinks near Portsea; 23 lost - From The Age 

"The ship Sierra Nevada bound from Liverpool to Melbourne, crashed upon the rocks of the Ocean Back Beach, behind Portsea, at 1 a.m. yesterday, and 23 of her crew were lost. The centre of the ship, like a mammoth shark’s fin, now appears above the breakers upon which the unmasted hull has been impaled, and that is all that is visible of the wreck. The masts, sails and numberless spars and fragments from the splintered vessel, together with many hundreds of cases and bales of cargo, bestrew the rocks to the mainland, and shortly after news was received of the disaster the battered body of the captain was hauled out from among the wreckage." 

The Sierra Nevada was bound from Liverpool with a cargo that consisted chiefly of whiskey and paper. She sighted Cape Otway on Tuesday morning, and before a favouring breeze made good progress towards Melbourne. At nightfall the lookout sighted the Heads, and there was every prospect of entering the harbor early in the morning. Soon, however, the wind veered around to the south, and as it steadily increased in strength, sail was shortened and everything made taut and apparently safe. The ship continued on her way without increased portents of danger until 11 p.m. Then, above the lashing of the waves and the roar of the wind, the voice of Geo. McGuffin, the man on the lookout, was heard proclaiming ominous warning, “Breakers ahead!” Simultaneously the sailors discerned through the darkness a white line of surf, in bold contrast to a black and rugged background of rocks, which rose out of a dense mist of spray upon the port side.


This is the first time I could find out more information of this shipwreck I frequented many times in the past few years. It is because of some remnants I found ion the region. I was pretty sure there was a shipwreck.

Forest Cave Coast for Skywatch Friday

 


Joel and I were supposed to find the entrance to forest cave. We believed the tide was not low enough that the entrance was immersed in the sea still. So we took a snap at the sea.

Pinnacles Milkyway Bow for Water H2O Thursday

 


This was what Joel and I were up to last weekend. New moon. Zero cloud for 5 seconds though. It was after a hike elsewhere on Phillip Island. Then we had fish n chips before coming up here for a milkyway bow.

Light pollution is seen on the right. Thanks for the urban sprawl into this once peaceful island.

Joel works 5 days a week in a senior position of a retail chain. I brought some crispy pork to house during a workday as he works from home. Then I discover that he has yet slept for 48 hours as he is trying to get the server back up for the company. He looks terrible. It reminds me that it is a blessing that I do not need to work everyday anymore. 


I discovered an old film photo from Year 9 that Joel and I travelled to Canberra Australia in 1993. 

I was pissed off that he couldn't stop playing heavy metal on his Walkman.

Pulpit Rock, Cape Shanck, Mornington Peninsula for Sunday Best

 


This shot reflects a time that I was into the soft dreamy look of a landscape. I do ultra long long exposure too. Funny how time has passed. This was taken 2 years ago.

Brighton Beach, Melbourne for Water H2O Thursday Event

 


There is no epic sky. Just the same overcast weather with constant drizzle. There is also no parking available in the area on weekends. So one can only visit during the weekdays.
