Bellarine Pennisula.... Part 3

I did of course save the best for last, and these series of panoramic photographs are definitely a combination of my favourite images of the Bellarine Pennisula.  Sunrises, sunsets and jetties always make great pictures, especially when the colours are so vibrant during the winter months.

This series of panoramic photos are from Clifton Springs, Indented Head, Swan Bay, Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale.

Bellarine Pennisula.....Part 2

Sunset at Swan Bay provided some dramatic colours contrasting against the still blue water.

These successive images of the waves rolling in at the historic Queenscliff pier which has been recently restored.....

At Queenscliff the black lighthouse guides shipping through the trecherous channel.

The years can be quickly rewound on the streets of Queenscliff through a black and white lens.

By the time I reached Port Lonsdale it was becoming quite stormy.  The sun peaking through the clouds provided interesting light when capturing these photographs.

Bellarine Pennisula..... Part 1

The next series of three posts display photographs of the Bellarine Pennisula, from Clifton Springs, Indented Head to St.Leonards, Swan Bay, Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale.  These photographs were captured over a 24 hour period of the setting and then rising sun during winter, which provided some dramatically changing lighting conditions.

Lets start with a splash at Clifton Springs!

By the time I reached Indented Head the sun was quite low in the sky casting long shadows  across the landscape.

 Ending the day in Swan Bay, it is interesting to contrast these earlier photos of the jetty to the sunset and sunrise photos that follow.

Kinglake

I travelled up to Kinglake today to hike through the National Park and explore the landmarks of the area.  Most people would know that Kinglake was almost completely destroyed by bushfires on Black Saturday in February 2009, impacting homes, farms and burning 98% of Kinglake National Park.

This view was captured from Frank Thomson Reserve on the Whittlesea-Kinglake Rd, with the setting sun casting long shadows in the foreground and providing a golden glow to the scene.

Walking through the Wambelano Block of the Kinglake National Park, the black trunks of trees are still a reminder of the massive impact of the bushfires throughout the area, however the green foliage vibrantly contrasts against the black bark.  Today, the morning mist and light rain provided an eerie feel to this photograph.

These photographs capture the rainforest surrounding Wambelano Falls in the north east of Kinglake National Park.

Sunday night in the city

Here are a few images I captured tonight while roaming the city.  I started at Degreaves St which was still bustling on a Sunday night and then tried to capture the iconic Flinders St Station, and the more modern Federation Square.  On my walk back to the car the tramlines (leading lines yet again) jumped out at me.
