There has been scarcely any significant low tide in recent months along this stretch of coast. Thus, I seized a brief moment to capture a photograph from the stairway, looking down toward the shore. Nearby, one of the sand cliffs has given way, its collapse engulfing the entire shoreline beneath a shroud of earth and debris.
This took place at Bridgewater Bay, situated in Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne. Renowned for its rugged coastal beauty, Bridgewater Bay features sweeping limestone cliffs, secluded rock pools, and crescent-shaped sands that are accessible only during favourable tides. In calmer times, its natural amphitheatre and tidal platforms attract walkers and beachcombers alike. Yet nature’s forces here are ever at play — carving, shaping, and at times overwhelming the very landscape they adorn.

Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe same location different outcome
DeleteA ruggedly gorgeous photo! I especially like the light on the waves! Kind of showing that even when things are rocky, there is always a light somewhere! These cliffs must be very unstable to collapse like this!
ReplyDeleteThere used to deaths in the area
DeleteWhat a beautiful photo, I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe rock looks like a nugget
DeleteWow! This is a gorgeous shot.
ReplyDeleteIt was a plain visit otherwise
DeleteIt is wild how much the ocean can change things, even big cliffs. It makes me think about how strong nature is, always moving and changing.
ReplyDeleteThat photo looks almost "otherworldly"! :)
