Bridgewater Bay Sunset for Sunday Best

 


I've often frequented this bay. The composition I consistently find myself capturing varies only by the light and the movement of the water within the frame.

Safety Beach Sunset for Water H2O Thursday

 


Safety Beach is a serene seaside suburb just 56 km (35 miles) south of Melbourne's Central Business District. Known for its calm, sandy bay and family-friendly atmosphere, Safety Beach is a perfect spot for a relaxing day by the water.

A Beach for Everyone Safety Beach offers a safe swimming environment, making it ideal for families with young children. The beach is protected by a cove, ensuring calm waters and a gentle surf. There's also a small sandy dog beach, so you can bring your furry friend along for some fun in the sun.

Activities and Amenities The foreshore reserve features an attractive children's playground, BBQ areas with shading, and plenty of picnic spots. For those who enjoy boating, Martha Cove, a large inland harbour, provides excellent facilities and scenic views. The Safety Beach Sailing Club, established in 1967, hosts numerous state and national titles, showcasing the area's vibrant sailing community.

Scenic Surroundings Safety Beach is surrounded by natural beauty, with views of Mount Martha to the north and Arthurs Seat to the south. The coastal road of Marine Drive separates the housing and commercial areas from the beach, offering a scenic drive with stunning ocean views.

Historical Tidbits Interestingly, Safety Beach was once humorously referred to as "Shark Bay" due to shark sightings attracted by an old abattoir's waste. However, the area has since been cleaned up, and the name "Safety Beach" remains

Sierra Nevada Rock for Sunday Best

 


Situated in the picturesque Mornington Peninsula, the Sierra Nevada Rocks in Portsea offer a stunning coastal experience. Located at the end of London Bridge Road, this natural wonder is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

As you make your way down the steep path to the beach, you'll be greeted by the iconic London Bridge rock formation, known for its arched shape. The Sierra Nevada Rocks, with their rugged beauty, create a dramatic seascape that's perfect for photography and exploration.

During low tide, the area reveals a vast expanse of glittery turquoise rockpools, making it a popular spot for swimming and snorkeling. The surrounding trails, including the Wilsons Folly walking track, offer scenic views and a chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region

Last night, I spent four hours waiting for it to get dark enough to photograph the amusement rides at Birrarung Marr.
