A smoky day at the beach

there was smoke drifting across the beach from one peninsular to the other when we arrived at the beach on the weekend - not sure of the cause - it cleared up after an hour or so - I hope we are not in for a fire ridden summer season.

[Keith Porteous]

Wow, hope all was ok

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Hope not, nice action shot though.

[Lorraine Hardy]

[KWind]

Nicely composed shot! Looks so warm and sunny! It's grey and wet here!

[Graham Thresher]

looks so inviting

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great capture , nicely composed -- envious of the sunshine -- grey, dull,cold and wet here !!!!!

[Bill Fenske]

I hope not also. Did you inhale? ;-D

[Rose]

That is a lot of smoke!

[Richard Sayer]

That looks like one heck of a Barbie... and you never got an invite!

[Graeme Stevens]

Are those boys smoking again???

[Kathie]

Looks like no one's bothered by the smoke. Just go about your play.

[Gena Pegg]

Love this shot......the smoke looks like our Oregon fog!! Looks so inviting!

[Derek Vickers]

A cool image Annie. Love the board in the foreground.

[Annie D]

[Andrew S]

My only disappointment with this image is there is no bikinis in sight! :)

[Annie D]

@tomtom hahahahaha I will try and rectify that with my next beach shot Andrew

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied It's always the boys fault...

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I am so pleased you know that ;-)

[Sally Ings]

The smoke gives quite an eerie effect to the shot. Did you ever find out the cause?

[Annie D]

@salza no - I tried googling to no avail lol

[Sally Ings]

@annied mmmm, so Google doesn't know everything!!!

[Annie D]

@salza haha apparently not

[Maggie]

An excellent capture of the reality of an Australian summer. Great shot. Fav.

[Annie D]

@snaphappi thanks Maggie

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied It's been drummed into me from a very young age

[Annie D]

@graemestevens kudos again to your wonderful mother

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied it wasn't her on this occasion but my lovely wife.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens oh well - how lucky are you? Two intelligent amazing women

[Sam]

Mmm, maybe some burning off before the hot summer arrives?!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied That's one way of putting it

[Annie D]

@graemestevens haha

[Ivan]

Great beach shot - all those barbies?!

[Marnie]

Oh gee, and this early in the season. Hope all is OK now.

[Babs]

We have had quite a few bush fires already here since September and it isn't even summer yet. Saw one on the way back from Nabiac today too.

[Annie D]

@onewing it's a worry Babs

[Annie D]

@ivan I know Ivan We need to settle ha ha

[Ann H. LeFevre]

If there were a couple of firemen running around I'd worried!

[summerfield]

where are the firemen? where? where? :-)

[Annie D]

@summerfield @olivetreeann some hunky firemen would have certainly made the day LOL

[Francoise]

I almost missed this one. Very dramatic and a nice picture with lots going on.

[Annie D]

@francoise thank you Francoise
