Swansea

Along the Foreshore

| cjlevinson

Went for a walk along the Swansea foreshore yesterday afternoon and was treated to this beautiful sunset. With the escalating situation in NSW at the moment, it was nice to be out amongst nature for a little while and remind myself that, no matter how bad things feel, the world keeps on going.

Swansea Sunset

From a quick walk along the Swansea lakefront earlier. This was my hour’s exercise for the day and I thought I’d take my camera with me for the sunset. I was still able to keep my distance from people and being able to take a few pictures definitely helped my mood. Photography is a bit like therapy for me that way.

Hope everyone in lockdown is doing okay.

Swansea Sunset Relics

I had a photoshoot scheduled in Swansea yesterday afternoon but it was cancelled at the last minute. Unfortunately I was already in Swansea when I got the call so rather than just go back home I decided to shoot the sunset instead.

Originally I was going to go on to Caves Beach for the sunset but on the way I found the remains of this little pier hidden behind some houses. I loved the decay and texture and some silly litterbug had even left a bike in the water too.

I spent all of golden hour in that spot and it was a lot of fun. Ironically I used to go to Swansea quite often while we lived at Caves Beach but I’d never shot here before. I guess it shows how sometimes you need to look at somewhere with new eyes to really see it.

Seagull in Black & White

Seagull in B&W

A hungry gull
Sits watching me;
I give you food
But you still want more

I had some time to kill while I was in Swansea recently and went to sit by the lake for a while. This seagull decided to take an interest in me while I was there… it was quite persistent and apparently very hungry! I thought it came out quite well in black and white.
