Another seaweed form in low light:
It was made in mid-winter--in July-- when it was wet and stormy.
I haven't been able to walk along the coastal rocks between Petrel Cove and Kings Beach this past week. There have been huge swells, large waves, and very high tides in the late afternoon. There has been no access to the rocks on the afternoon poodlewalks.
It's a pity because Suzanne has been travelling around the Eyre Peninsula this last week and I have been walking the 2 standard poodles. The coastal rock walk would have been ideal as the poodles are contained by the sea and cliffs and so there is no racing off chasing rabbits, foxes or kangaroos, which is what happens when we walk a back country road.
This picture was made whilst on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla near Dep's Beach in Waitpinga:
It was lying close to some rocks, protected from the coastal winds.
The macro picture below of cuttlefish shells is from a recent poodlewalk amongst the coastal rocks with Maleko. It was in the late afternoon just prior to the Xmas/New year holiday break.
I was on the lookout for dried out salt ponds amongst the coastal rocks at the time. However, as the weather had been cool, overcast and windy, with only the odd bright, sunny days with high temperatures, the salt ponds were few and far between.
I've been going the archives of what I call my macro photographs.
The picture below was made about the same time (circa 2019) as the images on this post on Thoughtfactory's photo blog and with the same macro camera equipment. It was the colours of the quartz that initially caught my eye. Then I saw the seaweed strand lying across the quartz vein.
I thought that this moment wouldn't last very long, as the coastal wind would quickly move the shape and the line of the seaweed strand, then eventually blow it off the quartz. So I quickly made a photo.
I was on a poodlewalk at the time, and I was looking for some dried salt ponds among the granite rocks to photograph. We would have been walking in the late afternoon.
