Prom pastels…

Another recent image from the prom, I wanted to incorporate the large round boulder that had cracked in half (centre right of frame) into the composition as well as the point and Norman Island. This boulder really caught my eye as it was one of very few with the orange/red lichen on it in this area, so to get all these elements together I found myself scaling some large boulders and perching extremely awkwardly on and acute angle to shoot. Initially in this smaller web version it may not be as prominent as with the larger file/print. Also the soft pastel hues and that awesome prom coloured water add to the scene.

Cool shot Tone, nice pastel colours.
Tad wet down your way I hear, it will be interesting to see if the Prom will be open for easter, much damage in your location?

Stay safe.

- Hey Tom – quite an impressive system and event that is for sure. Totally missed out at my house with the somewhat narrow rainband of embedded storms only about 35km’s away… I managed a very disappointing 1mm ! Where as falls beneath it ( narrow band from Erica to the Prom ) were consistent 100mm+ with the highest (unofficial) report being the 370mm (24hrs) at the Prom.

Very nice Tony, the lichen covered rocks contrast nicely with the blue water.

  Yeah still posting mate – not quite as prolifically as yourself though ! Blogland seems to have slowed down a bit without our little bud on the scene though…
