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.
On the Esplanade Beach in the early morning around sunrise.
It has been a while since kayla and I have walked along this beach. We have returned because the grass seeds in the bushland are all pervasive.
Winter is now easing into spring.The light is changing, sunrise is much earlier, the sun is shifting more to the south and the light is becoming much more intense and contrasty earlier in the morning.
We continue to stay close to home apart from going on the Lavender Trail camps. The final one is one is in September at Clare.
We experienced a big storm front that swept across South Australia in late August bringing rain, wild seas and gale force winds. Maleko and I wandered along the coastal rocks on the afternoon after the storm had passed.
Below is a picture of foam and granite along the coastal rocks just west of Petrel Cove on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula.
It was made on a day after the big storm in early May. Though the storm had passed the seas were still surging and they were too rough for the surfers. The 2 metre high waves dumped, rather than rolled into the shore.
The picture above refers back to this earlier picture of foam as well as to this one. This is what the littoral zone looks like during, or just after, a big storm from the south west. The foam quickly vanishes.
At Deps Beach:
Deps Beach is roughly halfway between Kings Beach and Petrel Cove. I was on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla.
