This is the cool little shell-covered Steels Beach in Tasmania. Shell foraging comes with some risk in the Indo-Pacific region - Cone snails. Cone snails have intricately patterned shells but can inject a venom strong enough to paralyse prey. Some can kill humans, and there is no known antivenom. And being Australia, you never quite know what else might be hiding around — blue-ringed octopus in the rock pools, stonefish in the shallows, bluebottles waiting in the surf and on the beach. Best to stick to photographing them methinks ;)Fun fact for today: Have you ever wondered what the best thing was BEFORE sliced bread? Well wonder no longer. There used to be a saying "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since wrapped bread” — because pre-wrapped bread was an earlier game-changer. Having bread wrapped at the bakery instead of loose meant it stayed fresher longer and was more sanitary. I thought sharing that with you is the yeast I can do. Well, I'm off to listen some music, perhaps Don't Go Baking My Heart ;)Many thanks for any comments, they’re much appreciated!Waterscape 73/100 for 2025

Obviously should be much more beautiful in april or october, but it's not possible for everyone.I talk with direct experience that is much more difficult that it seems to swim from Comino to Cominotto (Kemmunett, the smaller island in front of the Lagoon).

Tamarama Beach (Colloquially - Glamarama or Glamourama), Eastern Suburbs, Sydney, NSW
© All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond ImagesTamarama Beach is just a short walk along the Sydney Coastal Walk Track form Bondi Beach. It's a beautiful, sheltered beach with the next beaches along the walk being Bronte, Clovelly and Coogee Beach. Once at Coogee Beach most people doing the Bondi to Coogee Beach walk catch a bus, or tram from Randwick, back to Circular Quay.
This image was taken on a beautiful day in mid-March and surprisingly, with almost no people on the beach.
For people visiting Sydney I highly recommend doing this walk from Bondi to Coogee along the coast. It is a very scenic walk indeed and one of the must do excursions along with the Watsons Bay Ferry, Camp Cove Beach and South Head walk.Tamarama Beach is known colloquially as Glamarama or Glamourama because glamorous people are often seen sunbathing on the beach.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.[Romans 8:18-21 NIV]5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

Summertime Beach
Although school started back up the next week, so this felt like we were rapidly approaching the end of summer. We had a really nice time at the beach, with the Munchkin and I digging out and making nice seats for ourselves in the sand. We both wished that we had brought some sort of ball to throw/kick around.

Beach Scene
Where we spent most of our day during our relaxing beach day. I love not looking at my phone and losing track of the time.

Mono Aurora
This image was prompted by a question at the end of the talk by David Ward on the subject of colour at the recent On Landscape conference. The point was made that to the human eye you do not see the vivid colours that are possible to collect when making a long exposure image, due to the way that we are far less sensitive to colour information in low light levels due to the ratio of rods and cones in the eye's retina.So this is a monochrome rendition of my recently uploaded panoramic aurora image. It has the advantage of the long exposure to reveal the fainter details in the scene but without the lurid colour.The scene is a stitch of six images covering about a 140 degree view.

CRICCIETH
Criccieth beach and The Castle.
The Castle was built starting around 1230 by the Welsh Lord Llywelyn The Great, and it was expanded by his grandson Llywelyn ab Gruffydd in the later Thirteenth Century, before being captured and fortified by Edward in 1283.
