For  various reasons Torquay…

is one of my favourite playgrounds to photograph

I love the sea but dislike beaches.

There was a beach wedding

one sunny day a while back.

At Warrnambool’s Logans Beach…

I was fortunate enough to capture some

Southern Right Whales

splashing around in the nursery.

 


The right conditions and there are

plenty of splashes at Torquay’s Beaches.

Warrnambool’s

Hopkins Falls

August 2017

Bound to be a splash when this kite surfer touched down.

Some consider cricket a dull game…however,

a closer look  can find plenty of action

even in a dull game.

The bowler airborne in his delivery stride.

Not sure if this is a bowler midway

through his follow through,

or if the player is airborne trying to catch a ball.

 

I can hear the red cap in the background

yelling “Catchit!!!”

However, no sign of the ball.

Has the batsman played and missed?

Or did he get an edge to it?

The way the wicket keeper and first slip

are positioned there may have been an edge.

Catch the ball…batsman out!

There does not appear to be much action in this photo

until you notice the speed blur.


The wind this group of cyclists produced

nearly blew me off-balance.

 

Across the face and a sharp turn.

 

Wipeout!!

 

This really look likes fun.

You don’t even need water…until

the downward journey begins.

Torquay, my favourite beach,

leads the way this week….

I think that might have been the end of that ride.

 

Hope this is the right colour also.

Glacier Bay…again hope not too blue.

 

And I think there may be some 

Aqua or Turquoise…

in these colours.

 

Finally, I am fairly certain these boats,

captured at Capri, are showing

this week’s colours also.

I think (think because I photographed two windfarms

in recent years and there are no identifable landmarks)…

this may be the windfarm near our old home.

It was, with 104 turbines the largest, when built,

in the Southern Hemisphere.

Since then a windfarm of 231 turbines has been,

or is being, constructed

about an hours drive from Geelong.

Wind in the neighbours trees.

 

Kite surfing…

at Torquay beach.

Finally, windsurfers also near Torquay.
