Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula Sunset for Skywatch Friday

 


No foreground is discernible save for the advancing waves, their restless motion ever drawing the eye. Above, the golden sky is suffused with a deep, rich orange hue, casting a solemn glow upon the scene. Upon the distant horizon to the right, two ships are faintly discerned, their silhouettes a testament to the era when maritime vessels plied these waters, linking the burgeoning settlements of Melbourne with distant lands. The cliffs of Bridgewater Bay, steeped in history, stand guard nearby—once a silent witness to the passage of explorers and traders who shaped the destiny of this southern shore.

  2. There must have been misty, smoke, or dust to create that beautiful red sunset. Your photo with its simple elements is wonderful eye candy.

  5. The ships in the distance really give me a sense of perspective. The orange sky and water reflection are both beautiful and strange! I have never seen an entire sky orange like this!

  6. Yes,
    there's something literary about the photo,
    it reminds me of the old ships that once existed in Australia...
