Brighton Beach, Melbourne

 

There are so many Brighton Beaches in the world. Right here, it is both a tourist attraction and where the riches stay.

Balnarring Beach Jetty in Mornington Peninsula for Treasure Tuesday

 

Joel and I came back here on Easter Saturday. Again, I did not get the look I want but it gave me another opportunity to try it again.

Back beach, Mornington Peninsula

 

A late post this morning since I had another adventure last night. It was fun searching for a landscape. There is no time to re-examine the work last night. However, I am so buggered this morning. Sore muscles everywhere

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.

Loch Ard Gorge, Great Ocean Road for Sunday Best

 

As soon as I finish this post, I gonna drive to Wreck Beach. Believe it or not, there is a bit of sun coming through and wind is slowing down to 11 km/hr. Too good to be true.

Sea Cave at Mornington Peninsula, Australia

 

Three years later, I realise I had something good going in blogspot. Though I had started my ventures in zenfolio and instagram, blogspot platform has its own advantages. I think I cannot put all eggs in one basket as all my previous successful blogs on here either get bot attacked or domain hijacked. So this is just a space that I post whatever I want from my amateur career in photography 

This sea cave is among the thousands on back beach of Mornington Peninsula.

Finally caught up with Joel for a sunset shot at Altona Beach. The weather was meh. But we ended up talking about politics most of the time. 

Montfort Beach for Sky watch Friday

 

The sea is turbulent. The sky is actually less angry than what happens beneath it.

Balnarring Beach in Mornington Peninsula for Treasure Tuesday

 

It is not monsoon, but it always rains heavily in April and May around here. This shot was rather interesting from 2 weeks ago. The water flow motion is fun.

Joel and I are just busy playing PlayStation instead.

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.

No 16 Beach, Rye, Mornington Peninsula for Skywatch Friday

 

Sunset without clouds is usually looking the same everywhere. Joel tried to get his feet wet for a shot he would hardly process after he got home.
