Cool & Calming

Ah............. my favoutite colours of all time! That would be the main reason why I love this pic, the cooling colours of the beach. There are also the curved lines that take the eye from one point to another, in this case from the river mouth to the headland 11 kms south. There is also the harmony of colour & line, & the peace & restfulness of horizontal direction.

This is the same beach as the last two pics, this time in it's entirety, and taken from the northern end a few years back. In the foreground is the mouth of the river, with the beach stretching south all the way to the headland where I took yesterday's shot.

Mother Nature may have taken the sand away for now, but I am sure she will give it back again soon.

Bath Time

Just a seagull having a paddle, but there is a lot more if I look closely.

The gull is of course dominant & he is nearly in that 1/3 location which makes for an interesting photo. The diagonal line of the fountain edge and the gull's shadow brings him more into that 1/3 position.

What I really like though are the interesting lines created by the combination of ripples and reflections in the water. They are really subtle, but so interesting & so inspiring for my textile work.

Red

I like the dominant line in this one, curved & red, taking the eye up & around, just like the ride would take it's passengers.

A Fence

Fences vary greatly. This is the one between the water & the road, between Jones Bay Wharf & Pyrmont Point Park.

I like the position of focal point in this one, as well as the interesting lines in the fence that lead to it.

Boardwalk

I love the lines in this one. Curved, oblique, & leading to horizontal. Creating interest as well as tranquillity.
