TORQUAY

 It was such a hot day, well over 35 degrees what a day to decide to get out and take photos, so what better place to go to other than Torquay the beautiful picturesque beach town 2  hours drive from the center of Melbourne.

As we passed the Torquay sign I could see in the distance the ocean.  I felt a rush of anticipation and longing to get out of the hot car and race to the waters edge just too feel the cool salty ocean on my feet.
What was only 5 minutes seemed more like 30 minutes as the hot sun came through the window of the car.

As I sat on the sand I could see children running in and out of the water laughing and with happy smiles on their faces, not a care in the world playing in the water and having fun.

What  a beautiful way to end a perfect day, sitting on a beautiful beach watching the sun go down.

What a perfect place to end a wonderful day.

THE BEAUTY OF THE BEACH

Well today I had the urge to get out and take some more photos but with the weather which turned on us made for a bit of a dull day. I sat in the car and drank warm coffee whilst I waited for it to clear, after about forty minutes, the afternoon turned out perfect enough and just long enough to allow me to take a few pretty good shots at Middle  Brighton Beach.


As I stepped out onto the sand I was greeted by the beauty of the bathing boxes. Their beautiful colours stood out amongst the grey clouds. Each one unique in their own way. I wondered what stories they held tightly inside their walls.

                                                                                                                                                                                      

AN ERRIE FEELING

I had the urge to go into town Saturday night, it was quite late and I wanted to venture up towards the top end of the city towards the beautiful gardens. We parked the car and decided to walk across the grass towards the Shrine. I could hear in the distance the faint sound of bats in the trees, as I walked across the grass un be known to me the sprinklers were on and I sunk in the soft wet grass, as I walked towards the Shrine it was very quiet and not a person in sight, I felt a cold shiver come over me as I took my lens cap of my camera and proceeded to take the photo. The Shrine looked very errie as I stood there and looked at it. I wanted to take the photos quite quickly but still didn't want too loose the effect of the building in front of me.
