Such a rugged coast - I'll pick 7 in this one, but what is the diagonal line on the water's surface in 9?
Chances are it is rocks. The rock reefs can stretch out far from the shore. They are part of the reason the area is so treacherous for ships.
Spectacular images Felix. I especially liked the power in #7
Amazing coastline that shows how the power of the waves have shaped over the millennia. Well documented once again to our amazement.
Thanks John. Much appreciated. I am lucky to have this coastline so close to home
Week 23 - Whites Beach north to Discovery Bay.
Last week the starting point was Whites Beach and heading South. This week I start at Whites Beach and head North to Discovery Bay.
We are having the driest winter on record so have been having beautiful days for hiking and photos.
1. Discovery Bay with surf mist.
2. Starting point - Whites Beach from the Great South West Walk.
3. The closer to Discovery Bay sand covers the rock
4. The base of the cliffs along the walk

7. Not sure why you would want to build a fence here but someone saw a need once upon a time.
8. Approach to Discovery Bay
9. Surf mist clearing from Discovery Bay
10. About 1 km inland from Discovery Bay are the Bridgewater Lakes. The lakes were formed through erosion and sedimentation. Over thousands of years the lakes became disconnected from the ocean and rainfall and groundwater sustained them
Discovery Bay from a distance. If you were to go about 1km in from the shore you would come to the Bridgewater Lakes.

Another wonderful set, Felix! The arc of the waves and distant hills disappearing into the mist in #1; terrific leading lines in #2; the vertical perspective in #4; and the colors and implied crashing sound in #6 *might* be my favorites this week.
#7 - a surfie need to mount his camera to get a selfie for instagarbage 
I knew there would be a perfectly reasonable explanation for it Maurie#7 - a surfie need to mount his camera to get a selfie for instagarbage
Thank you Phil. As it warms up the mist disappears pretty quickly. Right place, right time.
Thanks Eric. Very much appreciated.
So many beaches.....you are a lucky person to live so close. I especially love No. 1 this week with the surf mist.
Thank you so much Terri. We are a bit spoilt for choice
Mmm, salty surf mist, quick, get the camera out!
Lots of good ones this week, what a dynamic place!

All great - Love 1,6,10 also nice one of the lakes

Thank you. I’m glad you liked them. There is so much happening along that side of the bay because it faces to the west. It is ancient, it is weather beaten and has so many things to see
Week 24 - Cape Nelson Lighthouse to Murrells Beach and return.
1. Cape Nelson Lighthouse mid afternoon
2. The coast exposed to the westerly winds, rain and waves have been carved out over thousands of years.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Murrells Beach from the Great South West walk.
8. The walk back to the lighthouse was on dusk. A great time to let the light work its magic.
9. Swamp Wallabies come out dawn and dusk to feed. They are between 60 - 90cms high and weigh on average 10 - 20kg. They are smaller than other wallaby species
10. Sunset
11. At this time of the year the light is soft and really highlights the minerals in the rocks.
12. Back at the lighthouse at the right time.
