A dull day on the beach.. by robz

A dull day on the beach..

A weekend away - Hervey Bay is different to the Gold Coast - almost like the GC was 40 years ago...
Beautiful shot!

Looks like a dull day, hope the weather brightens up.

David's brother and his wife have lived at Hervey Bay on and off for years. They seem to move away and then back again. Their last house in that area was at Toogoom but now eighteen months ago they moved to Western Australia.

Looks like a good storm is brewing… is that a helicopter, bird, or leaf in the sky? Love the tree on the left… the lines of it are very nice.

It’s not looking very inviting but a nice place for a stroll.

dull indeed , very moody photo

My sky looks like that right now, but instead of the beautiful sea and coast, I have houses. Nice moody image with great comp.

@taffy Lol Taffy - doesn't it look like it's waving its arms about?! :)

@koalagardens How true - it's like stepping back to the times when there were just houses on the Esplanade and bush all the way along the beachfront. :)

@kvphoto Hi KV - that was an osprey - there was another one in a tree right on the beach front - he was eating a fish he'd just caught and couldn't care less that I was watching him..It was wonderful to see but I'm afraid my attempted photos were pretty awful! Cheers Rob

@onewing Good heavens Babs - a move from Hervey Bay to WA seems fairly serious. Hervey Bay is a great place to visit - as you no doubt know - but apparently the crime rate is quite scary. We had no problems - but we were there for a music festival and there were lots of locals and visitors in the beach area - and quite a lot of police - so no problems at all. It was quite odd - all of the spectators brought camping chairs to the outdoor festival!! Cheers Rob

Such drama

What an interesting image. I felt peaceful and sad at the same time.

Beautiful shot. I like the bird crossing the frame.
March 25th, 2024  
Looks like rain in the distance
March 25th, 2024  
Looks like there might be rain coming out of the clouds. Great capture.

That's a great shot: in the gloomy but great category. Enjoy your holiday
March 25th, 2024  
Looks like it could be raining on the horizon
March 25th, 2024  
A lovely atmospheric shot. I hope you didn't get caught in the rain!

Love this shot.

Very moody capture

@clifford Hi Cliff - I think that's a perfect summary of this image! I think it's to do with the dead tree, the shadows and the tones... Thanks for your great comment. :)

@ankers70 Thanks Suzanne - gloomy is the perfect description but we still had a good time. :)
March 25th, 2024  
Looks moody and wonderful!

@robz I think the crime rate after they moved back to Hervey Bay after 6 years away while they were managing hotels and motels around Queensland. was a bit of a shock to them. They had been renting their house in Hervey Bay while they were away and after their return they sold their house in Hervey Bay, moved to Toogoom but decided that they needed a complete change, hence WA. They had also retired by that time too so didn't need to stay in Queensland for work.
