The lifesaver's tower at Elouera Beach, one of the patrolled beaches in the southern suburb of Cronulla. The towers at Cronulla beaches were painted a sky blue, which can be seen here, but have recently been changed to a sandy yellow.
What an unusual lifeguard tower. Hmm, my son always wanted to live in Australia and be a lifeguard, I'm afraid he never got there as a lifeguard, perhaps as an engineer.
That is a pretty fancy life guard tower! The classics are only a very high chair with an umbrella. :) Nice!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully shot, I love that water-don't care if its full of sharks, I still want to take a dip in right now! LOL. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteJane, don't worry. The lifesavers look out for sharks so you're safe if you swim between the flags at a patrolled beach.
ReplyDeleteas much as I love the sky blue...I'm leaning toward the sandy yellow...less competition with the natural sky color!
ReplyDeletegreat photo!

This is what I like about Aussie beaches, lots of handsome hunks.
ReplyDeleteAre you a life guard?
Can't get much more Australian than a lifeguards tower.
ReplyDeleteWe've got one down at Semaphore Jim and it's painted butter-yellow .... Perhaps that colour is easier to see on the beach.
ReplyDeleteAnn, no I'm not a life guard but I admire the people who are.
ReplyDeleteI've never see one of these towers. Perhaps I go to the beach with my eyes shut.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you shared your blues today.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Jim.
i like the color blue but I like yellow better for the lifeguard's house. My MYM is up too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely scene. At least, the beaches look clean and water blue.
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous! Shade of Blue, have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCLASSIC Jim! Man I just LOVE you shots! I really do appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
John
