More from Brighton beach...

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 21 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Well, I was on the beach, but they were in the water of Botany Bay.
Taken on Sunday afternoon, same as yesterday's photo.

By the way, what you see on the horizon coming out from the left is an oil refinery and the runways of Sydney Airport in front of it. It's an extension of what is on the left in this shot:

More photos of the bay can be seen by searching for "Botany Bay"on my archive page.

I would like to keep in touch with members of the aminus3 community.

Such a vast view. It looks so calm and the water seems to be pretty shallow for quite some distance. Beautiful shot.

interesting, how only on the 2nd time i look at this image, do i suddenly see the column of light reflected on the sea, the clear wave fronts in the foreground - subtle details which makes this photo =) can hear cool gentle lapping waves

All looks very placid . . shallows like that are great to explore.

Lovely shallow area, the light and that red t-shirt really add impact.

I agree with Lorraine. The light is spectacular. And a splash of red is always so appealing.

beautiful space -- beautiful light!!! and i love the way most of the beaches are in Oz -- where you can walk out a good distance onto the shelf an still find it rather shallow -- so amazing! :)
