Bridgewater Bay Sunset for Water H2O Thursday

 



Recently, Joel and I had the pleasure of visiting Bridgewater Bay, a locale of striking natural beauty nestled along the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne. The bay, renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs and sculpted rock formations, presents varied aspects of the coastline—each affording its own unique photographic character. The ebb and flow of the Southern Ocean have, over countless years, carved intricate features into the shore, rendering the landscape both wild and sublime.

Locum work that takes one away from home, however, proves to be a challenge. Such endeavors serve as a sober reminder not to accept such responsibilities without due consideration. In moments of solitude and fatigue, I find myself increasingly aware of the passage of time and the quiet insistence of age.

Petrified Forest in Cape Bridewater near Portland for Treasure Tuesday

 


This area is called the petrified forest from an early theory that advancing sand engulfed an ancient forest of coastal trees that once covered the sea cliff, petrifying them for all time.

Actually the formation is a collection of hollow tubes of limestone called “solution pipes”, eroded by millions of years of rainfall. The process starts when water gathers in a shallow pan of sand and seeps downwards dissolving the limestone. The mineral saturated water then cements the sand, forming hard, trunk-shaped pipes. Most pipes around Cape Bridgewater are only three metres high, although some are as much as twenty metres.

The Petrified Forest is easily accessible from the car park at the end of Blowholes Road, Cape Bridgewater.

I have been to this area 4 times in total. This is the most recent snap.
