Portsea Back Beach for Skywatch Friday

 


My visit to this area during an unusually low tide proved most rewarding in terms of photographic endeavour. The light, delicate and fleeting, was at its finest just before the onset of complete darkness. The exposed ocean floor took on a strange, otherworldly appearance—almost alien in aspect. Portsea itself, a refined and affluent enclave favoured by the wealthy, remains largely untouched by the ordinary tourist trail. Few ventures beyond the cave gate that marks the divide from London Bridge, lending this particular stretch a sense of quiet seclusion and hidden charm.

  1. I have never seen anything like this. But then again, you post so many things that I have never seen! Each post is like travelling to a wonderful place. This looks so prehistoric to me! And the sky! It kind of shoots out in all directions from the tip of the rock. Stunning.

  8. Finding places that others don't visit is always interesting, like your own private kingdom.

  10. I love beaches with heaps of sun, blue skies, no rocks, clean sand and clean sea water. Rock on, summer

  11. Creo tienes un olfato especial para lograr estas imágenes tan bellas, ya que para lograrlas hay que estar en el sitio y hora.

    Saludos.
