As it has been a while since I posted here -- around 5 months ago. I've posted a couple of images of ephemeral and transitory subject matter from around December 2022. The foam would last a minute or so before evaporating with the tide and the wind.
This picture was made was on an early morning walk along the coastal rocks from Petrel Cove.
The macro picture below was made in the early autumn of 2022 when an occasional low tide made it possible to walk with the poodles along the coastal rocks of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula in the late afternoon. It is a followup to the picture in this post which was made around the same time.
It was not often in autumn that this kind of seaweed was left stranded on the rocks from the tide. The rocks are usually clean.
These coastal walks were micro ones that are similar in form to the micro bush walks. An hour's duration, slow walking, concentrated seeing, making photos.
Autumn has arrived at Encounter Bay. I've started to return to walking amongst the coastal rocks with Maleko on the late afternoon poodlewalks. This return happens when there is some cloud cover, the light is soft and there are photographic possibilities.
These walks are still infrequent. The morning cloud usually disappears during the day and the afternoons are clear and sunny. The strong coastal winds that marked the summer months have eased.
From an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla along Esplanade Beach in Victor Harbor.
I was walking along the beach from the mouth of the Inman River to the Granite Island causeway. The new concrete causeway is nearly finished.
Another seaweed form in low light:
It was made in mid-winter--in July-- when it was wet and stormy.
