Thoughtfactory: The Littoral Zone

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 I was on an afternoon poodle walk around the granite outcrop between  Basham's Beach and  Port Elliot on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula with Ari and Maleko. I'd been to see the director of the South Coast Regional Art Gallery at Goolwa about the Mallee Routes project and I  decided to walk around the granite outcrop.  

 I'm toying with using this some of the images on this blog as the basis for small artist's book. A little side project. A modest project. 

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. 

This found still life  was made on an early morning  poodle walk along the coastal rocks just before  Dep's Beach. 

The tide was lower that morning, the weather had cleared  after the storm, and some of the quartz among the granite was exposed.

Made on an early morning  poodle walk when it wasn't raining:

The location was Dep's Beach west of Rosetta head, near Victor Harbor.
