Recently I had the opportunity to meet a dear friend I've know for several years, but had never met in person.

One of coolest places she took me was only minutes from her house.
Wollongong Harbour, which actually has two lighthouses.

The Lighthouse was completed in 1936 at a cost of $13,600.
Sounds kinda cheap for lighthouse hu :D

Absolutely beautiful coastline and great surf too.

I had a most enjoyable time ..... Skippy :D

    Howdy Skippy,

    Oh My, what a couple of stunning landscapes, really a beautiful and powerful subject, and the IR seems to really set that part of it off.

    I agree, I am more partial to the 2nd image, but I do like the first image for showing my the whole scene in front of you.

    Very nicely done, looks like a good time was had by all:D:D:D
    Take care,

    Craig

    Excellent shots, Skippy--I like the first one because there is so much activity and it really tells a story. I also like the curves of the fence line and the series of horizontal lines from foreground to middle. All in all, very nicely done!

    And even better that you had a good time with your friend!!

    Thanks everyone, funny how you get an impression in your mind about what a place is going to look like.

    I had this impression in my head that Woollongong was tiny and old for some reason, dunno why ne_nau.gif

    Boy was I shocked at the size of the place and the beauty of that coast line!

    The traffic had me laughing, here I was thinking it would one road in and one road out, but it was Highways and congested traffic, I was soooo not expecting that .... I tell you I had visions of cows and trees and not much else rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for looking, been quite a while since I've been out shooting thumb.gif
    .... Skippy :D

    Hi Skippy,

    Good to see you have a little time to do some shooting. This is a very interesting shot to me. The top photo, particularly, looks like two joined shots. The top portion, while certainly the same area, looks, to me, to be separate from the bottom half. I'm probably the only one who sees it that way. Regardless, it's a very nice picture.

    There are no joined shots, the sky had a most excellent cloud formation.
    I enhanced the clouds in all the shots I took :D .... Skippy
