Last weekend, we just had to get out of the house despite a stormy gloomy weather. It was mainly the stairs and steps I want to do to get my metabolism going.
Spam filter here is getting to me again. So, I am trapped in this never ending gotcha moment proving I am not a robot. Sometimes I do feel that I am a robot in this capitalistic world.

I took at least 200 long exposure photos at this location in my last visit where I sustained an avulsion tendon tear in my left ankle. You can see the two people standing on top of the cliff in the distance. It was a worry that I thought one guy was going to push the lady off the cliff for a jump into the sea.

This was another trip to the hazardous coast. I walked on my left inverted foot and sprained the whole foot as a result. Not fun.

I always wanted to do this shot with a puddle reflection, but I never got around to it. however, mission half accomplished when I drove through the Sorrento on the weekend.
Glad that I stopped nearby and took this shot.

A late post this morning since I had another adventure last night. It was fun searching for a landscape. There is no time to re-examine the work last night. However, I am so buggered this morning. Sore muscles everywhere

Last few days strolling along the beach was nice. The temperature actually came down too. more bearable. This is so good that I do not need to stress over anything in the holiday mood.

After a hard-working festive season, I get out to the coast as quickly as possible. This view is curing my low mood after an eventful 2 weeks.
Then I listened to my pal's long winding saga of his difficult time in his life...

There are three "bays of islands" in Victoria, Australia.
This one is most accessible. I am going to come here to test out my new Sony A7RV

I forgot to bring ND filter along. So this was taken handheld. Too bright still.

Back beach is about 72km long along Mornington Peninsula. It is about 150km out of Melbourne but still getting classified as a Melbourne suburb. Some said Melbourne is similar to Los Angeles in US. It has a wide span really.
Love long exposure. Here we go, another "unnatural" photo.

Kind of spooky inside this cave. But the view is quite nice. Worth the effort to come here in the cold.

Well, that big rock was meant to be my focus of the day for an ultra long exposure. I misread the tides that it was actually a high tide instead of a low one. So I walked to the deck for a timely sunset. The couple was already there trying to suck on each other's tongue.
So a snap

It has been a project over the past few years that I try to find these esoteric sea caves which were often immersed in sea during high tides. They are not easy to access but it has become an adventure since pandemic happens.
The good thing about these sea caves is that no tourists come visit at all. But the bad thing is if anything happen to me, no one would know about it. Sometimes rogue waves would cover the sea cave opening and wash me down the cave into an abyss. The very thought does scare me from time to time. This is why I have stopped photographing sea caves now. Time to do something cheaper and safer.

It has been a fever to capture various unknown caves at seaside since the pandemic. Well, this is the best way to avoid crowd. And there is a bit of explorer feel to it. My friend got various sorts of trauma from walking around these areas too.
I just got my forth dose for Covid. Arm is painful for quite a few days already.
Weather is getting quite cold. -2 degree Celsius almost every night. Walking in the ankle deep sea water on the beach rocks is really designed for iron man or iron woman.
Normally one would come up a poem for this image. I just like to ponder on a view like this. No words.

The intense blue is particularly nice in Winter
Not good for my wet feet
p.s. The spam filter on blogspot is a nightmare. I cannot even comment on other blogs anymore. I even struggle to get inside this blogspot. This reminds why I left Blogspot 5 years ago. PTSD!
