The Lonely Sea and the Sky


There's a timeless quality to the natural world—it seems eternal. Experience has taught us that it's not, but to the human senses a scene like this could as easily be a million years ago as today. This is the Gulf St Vincent, seen from the cliffs above Morgan's Beach, near the south end of the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia. Afternoon light creates amazing vistas of sea and cloud, ever-changing, no too images ever exactly alike, and always a delight to shoot. The wind was howling, as recall, some later pictures in the set taken through the car window for protection. The old Fuji chip handles looking into the primary light source very well. This frame was captured on April 6th 2022, at the turnaround point of a south coast drive beginning in Noarlunga. The image was squared up with fine rotation, and contrast, colour and sharpness were adjusted slightly. Fuji FinePix S5600, automatic. Image by Mike.
