Clouds…
…around…
…Geelong.
And a cloudy coastal morning.
Geelong and District fogs…
…are what I imagine…
…London’s Pea Soupers…
…would be…
…like…
…cold, wet and thick.

On Friday (November 13) I decided,
after finding a web page which provided
shipping arrival and departure times
at the Port of Melbourne, to venture down to
Point Lonsdale to view ships
entering or leaving Port Phillip Bay
Unfortunately the drive was a bit longer than expected
and my 0730 departure was ten minutes early.
Later I discovered it had departed Melbourne
between 5 and 10 minutes earlier than scheduled
and I just managed a couple of shots before
this vessel was well on its way
into Bass Strait.

From Point Lonsdale Pier.
The Bait Board.
Not sure if that is the correct name,
however, it is where bait is cut up,
hence my terminology.
Rusty bits.

opening
a space or gap that allows passage or access.
Port Phillip Bay opens into the open seas
via a shallow and narrow opening between
Point Nepean and Point Lonsdale.

Point Nepean from Point Lonsdale.
Just behind the trees on the left is where
the Moyne River converges with the sea.

The mouth of the Hopkins River at Warrnambool.

The commonality each of these
places have…
…is that all three empty in Bass Strait.
Port Phillip Bay on the right, Warrnambool’s
Hopkins River (second from let) and
Port Fairy’s Moyne River is the extreme left point

capture
1. take into one’s possession or control by force.
2. record accurately in words or pictures.
Must confess to never having heard of
the second definition of capture
until I began blogging.
Today I have included some
photographic captures I have made
over recent years.

Point Lonsdale Pier and Lighthouse after sunset.
Same location.
I was packed up and walking back to the car
when this rainbow appeared.
I barely had time to get my camera out
before it disappeared.
In my opinion…a real capture.
Finally, two sunrise photos…
…also taken at Point Lonsdale.
