Carss Park, Tidal Baths

The Autumn clouds created a beautiful sunset over the Tidal Baths at Carss Park, a protected swimming area on Kogarah Bay. They are surrounded by Carss Bush Park, a popular recreational area.

    I keep forgetting you are in Autumn. The lilting light creating that glass like image is superb.

    You captured a perfect mood of serenity here. The water reflections also cast a meditative ambience.

    That's different.
    What's that thing sticking up in the water?

    Lisa,
    It's a tidal marker that shows you how high the tide is.

    How high was it at the time? Does it reach over the top of the marker sometimes?

    Interesting.

    Very soothing water shots. Really loved the photos of sculptures in your fair city. How nice to live in a city that values art.

    Lisa,
    It was high tide or close to it because there wasn't much sand visible on the shore. The marker is always visible even at high tide but I don't know if the Georges River and Kogarah Bay have ever flooded enough to cover it.

    I'm not sure there is anything more peaceful than partaking of the setting Sun.
