Frankston Pier, Melbourne for Sunday Best

 







These photographs were taken during my visit to Frankston Pier with Joel last week. The weather was quite warm, and not wishing to travel far, we chose this location, which was a mere forty-minute journey.

Seeking to capture artistic compositions, I focused on the subtle details of the area, as there was little activity at the time. I found particular interest in the fishing enthusiasts gathered along the pier and the weathered, rusted nails embedded in the jetty.

I am utterly weary after disembarking from the plane. Moreover, my mother suffered a fall, requiring me to take her to the emergency department.

    1. Oh, I do know fishing but I would not want to do that at that pier. Too noisy and only few species available there: brim trevally and flathead.

  2. I hope your mother is alright and has recovered unhurt from her fall. You had a good time with your camera at the pier. If you had just posted the first photo I would have thought this was called the Frankenstein Pier.

  3. Sorry to hear about you mother's fall. I hope everything is okay.
    That man in your photo gave me a chuckle. That's a funny position for reading his phone.

  4. Oh no, I'm so sorry about your Mom. Let us know how she is and if she was badly injured. Looks like this pier could use some work. The nails look like eyeballs!

  15. Great shots, James. I like the visible effects of time on what are normally considered very "solid and strong" objects... Tempus edax rerum! Thank you for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
