Experimenting with a
Neural Density filter this morning.
Geelong’s Eastern Beach.
Walkers were beginning to fill the path
as I left this morning.
Geelong Yacht Club Marina.
My favourite spot for photos on the
western side of Corio Bay.

Hope you enjoyed.

From the ‘random’ box this week.
Maybe a re-post…last Monday’s
foggy start to the day.
Even in BW canola fields look okay.
Geelong’s Eastern Beach, Yacht Club to the left
and on the horizon are the You Yangs

Hope you enjoyed.

Weekly Photo Challenge-Glow
~~~~~
My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Glow
~~~~~
My glows are from
Arras, France and Geelong
this week.
The Arras Bell Tower lit up by surrounding lights.
A combination of wall light and flash light
gave an interesting glow to the wall
of St. Germain’s cafe in Arras.
During daylight these are just white balls
adorning Geelong’s Foreshore.
However…
after dark they become glowing beacons.

Weekly Photo Challenge-Scale
~~~~~
My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Scale
~~~~~
These balls adorn the foreshore at
the ocean end of Geelong’s main street.
In daylight they are just white balls…
of similar size once one allows for
subject to camera distance.
Correct?
No. Not all the same size and not all that big.
The stakes supporting the young trees
are only about 2 metres high.
A life-size horse and rider…
or something rather small?
I posted this shot only a few days ago,
however, Tembo is twice my size,
and I am not a jockey.

Local photos this week.
Geelong’s foreshore are is one of the prettiest areas of Geelong.
MGW’s Grandfather used to maintain these lawns
and I am not sure how he did it.
Even now my knees creak at the thought
of walking these slopes.
However, once at the top, another five minutes
and one is in the heart of Geelong.
The other possibility for a walk is the Botanic Gardens…
with all it partially covered…
paths which provide a nice cool retreat on a warm day.
Naturally, there are some places when
the weary legs can be rested.

Black and White Tuesday

Commencing at…
the Geelong Yacht Club.
Where a seagull came for a drink. Hmmmm!
Took a wrong turn off the freeway and
sighted this Great Egret having a bite to eat.
Went back the following day with a longer lens,
hoping for a better shot.
Alas! My Great Egret had gone.

Hope you enjoyed.

Jo’s-Monday-Walk_16-5_Geelong-Foreshore
My first contribution for Jo’s Monday Walk
showed the Promenade situated on
Geelong’s Eastern Beach
Parts of the Promenade are visible
in the background of this shot.
However, many visitors choose to wander
along this path between the
Promenade and the Yacht Club environs.
In this area of the foreshore are spots for
barbeques, picnics or just relaxing.
MGW’s Grandfather was once responsible
for keeping all these lawns in pristine condition.
A short walk up this path and you are a slow ten minute
walk from the Central Business District.
