The sunrise provided a bit of colour in the gap on the horizon for an otherwise overcast sky above Bate Bay last Saturday morning. I discovered this magnificent wooden bench in the shape of a surfboard installed at the lookout behind Wanda Beach, close to the Greenhills sand dunes. It's a perfect surf culture design for the great surf beaches here, in the southern suburb of Cronulla. Another view can be seen here.
Very beautiful pastels on a stormy sky. Great captures!
ReplyDeletepeaceful scene, dear

Wow! A dramatic sky. Love the calmness here. Wish you a great friday.
ReplyDeleteA fine contribution to the SWF meme, J Bar.
ReplyDeleteAnn, New Zealand is in that direction. If you look hard enough you might see it over the horizon. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe sky is always interesting over the sea. You have an advantage over us landlocked folks.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful images, with charming shades and very well composed!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I love it I love it. That was my teenage stomping ground.
ReplyDeleteI wished I could see that life !
ReplyDeleteI really like skies where clouds and light from the sun meet, often makes dramatic view - like in your pictures. Must be great to sit at the bench looking over that landscape!

Hi Jim, thanks for visiting my blog today. I inadvertantly called you Julie (another blogger from Sydney) Apologies. Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunrise and I love the surfboard bench.
ReplyDeletethat's an interesting gap in the horizon, sandwiched between the heavy clouds and the water :)
ReplyDeleteThat lookout and that bench are absolutely perfect. And thank you so much for getting up and around early enough to share the sunrise! I am never disappointed with your pictures ever, but this one makes me realize how dedicated you are! We appreciate it.
ReplyDeletebeautiful view!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And thanks for visiting my photoblog!
ReplyDeleteYou hang around some beautiful spots, Jim. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeletevery nice picture, would love to just sit there with a mug of a cuppa
ReplyDeleteLove the peaceful but stormy sunrise. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. Gosh you must have been up early! I love the surfboard bench. I've seen a few surfboard benches around Caloundra beach (an area on the Sunshine Coast in Qld) but they're made of metal. So in the middle of summer they're not too pleasant to sit on. Ouch!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful sunrise photos, I love the glow on the horizon!
ReplyDeleteVery nice images. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteLove the pastel colours of the sky, very serene captures, lovely feel~ Happy Mother's Day
