Where man made and nature meet

I had an hour break in a 14 hour day of meetings and dashed to the beach (which luckily was near the meetings) to take photos. On the Grange jetty in Adelaide - I loved the rust on the old jetty against the sand, sea and sky. I did get some strange looks in my meeting clothes with bare feet and a camera on the beach

It's a lovely view and the clouds look fantastic.

ooh yes I am worried about what people will think of mouse but it's life isn't it. And I'm desperate for image ideas hehe :D

[Jan Harris]

So lucky to work near the beach. This is a fantastic shot Robyn. Love it.

[Debs Stott]

A well spent hour, this is fab especially those clouds!

[Robyn]

@macromover Thanks Julie. Normally I work an hour a way, but I thought I was lucky to have 2 meetings with only a 20 minute drive to the beach and a break. Got home after 10pm from work though!

[Robyn]

@kiwiniknak I wouldn't worry too much about what people think really - I was just being silly. and thanks for your comment on the clouds

[Katterina ❥]

I love this sky! Fantastic shot!

Everything is so sharp, lovely rich saturated colours, really nice :-)

[Andrew S]

Lovely image, Robyn. It's certainly a nice spot.

[Islandgirl]

Gorgeous beach!
Love the beach and big sky!
Great shot.

[Peter_1966]

Love the way the rust makes everything else feel so clean and fresh

[Jule ♥]

Love the sky and sea, you can almost feel it moving :)

[Babs]

Beautiful shot. Love the rust and isn't it great when you have a beach to yourself.

[Daweenie]

This is just lovely. The sky and beach look as if they go on forever. Aaahhhh. Thank you for my moment of zen.

[Leah]

Interesting shot. What an awesome sky capture!!!

[Lorena]

Beautiful sky capture!!!

[Sophia Ziburtovicz]

Lovely shot. Great title.

[Marc]

It's a Wow shot. I'd like to be there. I could also put my costum on if someone give me a plane ticket to go there. Good work Robyn.

[Lyn Berriman]

This is wonderful! I love the rust, followed by the perfect sea, beach and sky! Well done.

[Paula W]

Looks great and the sky is really beautiful. That sounds like a long day!

[Catherine W.]

Awesome sky and shot! Really captured the movement of the clouds! Fav!!!

[Marnie]

That's a great shot, love the colours and perspective in this photo. The sky looks great, did you use a polarising filter, or is it really that blue? Whatever, the effect is terrific.

[Marnie]

PS I'd given quids to have seen a shot of you taking the pic.

[Maggiemae]

Great to see a beach with nobody on it! Just miles of sand and sea!

[Call me Joe]

Fantastic capture !!

[Robyn]

@macromover Sorry Jan, I just noticed I had your name wrong in my previous reply

[Robyn]

@dibzgreasley @katerinatina @frantic @trinda @baalst @andrewkru @noela @gigiflower @elaine55 @overalvandaan @kiwi_big_bear @thresheg @robrazer @tomtom @radiogirl @peter_1966 @justaspark Thanks for your lovely comments and favs. I am learning so much from your feedback. As my partner commented, I would never have even thought of this shot a few months ago

[Robyn]

@onewing I was lucky to grab this moment with the beach clear. There were people around, but as a storm was coming in it wasn't too crowded

[Robyn]

@daweenie @lealady @lorenaavalos @sophiaz Thanks for your lovely comments and favs

[Robyn]

@daneau Thanks Marc. Many of our beaches are like this

[Robyn]

@lynnilou @paulaw @wannabe Thanks for your great comments and favs. I was pleased to see this made the Trending page

[Robyn]

@golftragic Thanks Marnie. I had a UV filter on to protect the lens as I had just been shooting into the sun, but the sky was really this blue in this direction. Grey clouds were coming from the other direction, as in the shot back along the jetty in my alternatives album. Luckily there weren't too many people around as I crouched on the jetty taking photos of rust with a wide-angled lens - it would have given you a good humorous shot if you'd seen me.

[Robyn]

@maggiemae Thanks Maggiemae. I was lucky to get the moment between walkers, joggers and dogs, but at this time of the year it can be managed thankfully

[Robyn]

@joemuli Thanks for taking the time to comment

[Marnie]

@flyrobin All sounds very sensible to me. Like you, I always have a UV filter on the front of my lenses for the same reasons. It's a great shot, and crouching down to include the rusty rails was definitely worth it. But I'm sorry I wasn't there to take a pic of you taking the pic! I know what you mean about the blue sky too. I've taken a lot of shots in the semi-arid regions of Victoria and NSW and they often show that intense blue up the top. I don't often use my polarising filter so am always interested to know if/how others do.
