Backspray

I just love the colours of the ocean. I could watch the waves forever.

The white blob you can see way off in the distance to the right of this picture is the now defunct lighthouse on Shark Island.

[Sue Rose]

Beautiful greens and you caught the wave just right.

[Maggiemae]

Didn't know about Shark Island. The sea goes on and on here but it is in Sydney Harbour? I do like it when the wind whips the spray off a curling wave!

[Babs]

@maggiemae Not quite sure what you are asking here. I don't live in Sydney. Shark Island is just off Fingal Bay. I live near Nelson Bay about 200 km north of Sydney and about 65 km from Newcastle. If you look on Google maps you will see it.

@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann you don't need to buy an atlas these days you can find anyone on Google maps.

@casablanca It may look summery, but it is winter here. Only a couple more days and it will be Spring. Can't wait for it to get warmer.

[Babs]

@pistache The sharks can be scary, luckily we don't see too many, except at mullet time. Here is what happen when the mullet are here.

This is at Fingal Bay. Shark Island is close to here.

[Rob Z]

That breaking wave is just so alive!!

[Diana]

@onewing I did Babs, it looks like a wonderful area with so much water :-)

[Babs]

@ludwigsdiana Did you see me waving. ha ha.

We do have a lot of water and beaches but no water dropping from the sky. I believe rain is finally forecast for tomorrow but we are due to go on water restrictions next month because the dam levels are so low.

[Catherine P]

Lovely composition

[4rky]

Lovely scene. Love watching the ebb and flow of the waves, too :)

[4rky]

Just watched your link - those sharks get very close to the shore!!!

[Jacqueline]

Love your timing and capture!

[Jane Morley]

Next time I'm wave watching I shall imagine you next to me. I could watch them forever. Love this shot. It's so peaceful.
