golden rays

casting spring calmness

naturally

The sunsets across Port Phillip bay from Ricketts Point at this time of the year are often golden like this one. We captured these images 4 nights ago. There were many photographers scattered across the point as it was low tide. These two in the images had a camera mounted on a mini tripod right down on the water level. The seagulls as usual glided around as they settled in for the night.

  Thanks Xenia. The changes from evening to evening are amazing. Tonight very overcast and rough water.

Love the serenity of the haiku Denis. That is clearly the place to be for capturing awesome sunsets. Nice catch of the gulls too.

  Thanks for the response Pat, yes this is probably the best location around the bay as it juts out and covers a large sweep .

      That sounds tragic Sue, I did that once with a pre SLR digital and a water bottle, it was heartbreaking at the time. Did you retrieve the card?

        Yes, but I’d barely started taking pictures of the Scottish trip.

There is a gentleness in the gold. Delightful view of birds flying in the first photo.

  Thanks Janice. There certainly is a peacefulness about the golden sunsets and the seagulls always seem to make appearances.
