winter light

One morning on a poodlewalk with Kayla:

This  was just after 7.30 am. and the rocks at the foot of the cliffs provided shelter from the cold northerly winds.  I'm noticing that it  is slowly becoming lighter earlier in the morning.

contrasts

The contrast between the dark granite and the orange seaweed along the southern Fleurieu peninsula coast  is often quite striking:  

This  is a similar study to this one.  It is a still life.

Another  picture  of the coastal textures along the coast fo the southern Fleurieu Peninsula:

Made whilst on an early morning  poodlewalk with Kayla. The tide was very low that morning so I was able to   access the part of the coastal rocks.  This section  is normally underwater.

rock pool

This scoping study was made whilst I was on  a poodle walk with Kayla and Maleko on the last day of August:

 We were walking along the coastal rocks making our way back to Petrel Cove where the Forester had been parked.

Made whilst on an afternoon poodle walk over the long week end:

It was low tide so I was able to venture further  out onto the reef.

salt pond #1

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.
