I have started to go through my archive of the macro images that I made whilst I've been on the poodlewalks.
I need to start doing something with these images with their connection between walking and photography. This has emerged or come to the fore during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it has got me motivated to start looking at this body of work.
The big rolling waves, caused by the strong south-easterly winds, resulted in the southern ocean foaming up when it crashed against the coastal rocks. You don't see this very foam, or the extent of it, often along this coast of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula.
Of all the Australian beach icons ---the lifesaver, the beach belle and the beach bum, the surfer and the sunbather--- you occasionally see the surfer at this beach. There are no beachobatics as photographed on Bondi by George Caddy in the late 1930s.
The beach icon at Deps Beach is the dog walker in the early morning our later afternoon. It's not even families at play, since it is not a safe beach due to the strong rips along this part of the coast.
This study of a tree on the foreshore was made on a beach in Mollymook, in NSW. We were staying with my sister to celebrate her 60th birthday.
We were on a road trip to Ballarat via Mollymook and Canberra. We were going to Ballarat for the Ballarat International Foto Bienalle.
