early morning light

The wild storms and rain have passed.  I have returned to exploring the literal zone.  The sky is clear in the morning,  and  there is early  morning light on the coastal rocks:

The light  now is very different from that before the storms that battered South Australia.

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.

winter seas

The 2016 winter has been very stormy and wet with a few sunny , calm days in-between. Consequently, we have seen  wild, surging seas along the granite coast west of the  Victor Harbor township and Rosetta Head.  The   picture below was made whilst on an early  morning poodle walk at Dep's Beach.

All the sand on Dep's  Beach and at Petrel Cove has been washed away during the storms.

This image  of a detail of the  coastal granite rock was made on an early  morning  poodle walk with Kayla and Ari: 

We had a morning of gentle winter sunlight amidst all the  winter rains.  It  didn't last as  it started  raining now latter in the day.  It is also very cold. More winter storms are expected.
