The hot dry weather has meant that the salt ponds scattered along the coastline of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula have returned. They are very ephemeral. Here today, gone tomorrow is their mode of existence.
They are also difficult to photograph. It is very opportunistic.
I have been wondering what to do with the body of Littoral Zone images that I am continually photographing with a digital camera whilst I am on my morning and evening poodle walks.
I have pretty much given up the idea of scoping and then going back to reshoot them with my film cameras , which is what I used to. There is just too many digital images now. As a result the digital images keep on building up in the iMac's hard drive.
I don't have a project with this body of work. Just a lot of images that I am unsure what to do with.
After spending 12 days on the road to and from Lajamanu in the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory I walked along Dep's Beach on the morning after my return to Victor Harbor. This is in the early morning light:
I was seeing differently. I would normally walk past these rocks in the sand
This pile of stones at the base of the cliffs just west of Petrel Cove had been collected by children during the school holidays:
There is a rough path or track along a cutting that runs down from the top of the cliffs to the rocky foreshore below and the stones are neatly stacked against some granite rocks.
This picture was made whilst on a poodle walk around the coastal rocks near Petrel Cove at Victor Harbor.
I found the seaweed, place it on the rock and made the seaweed into a circle.
