WATERY WEDNESDAY ~ 9 Coffin Bay

A stormy day at Coffin Bay, Eyre Peninsula,
South Australia.



These are the light effects that greeted us on arrival
one late afternoon in winter.



Pelicans perching and a cormorant lauching into space



With all that weather coming in, it was still a peaceful
yet invigorating scene.

Thanks to 2sweetnsaxy you can see lots of water by

Nice shots, I especially liked the birds. Guess they were waiting for the weather.
Thanks for comments! The seven Hills cat most be some years now according to my brother, and I think he was well fed. It was a very talkative cat and we had a nice long chat. I have been to the Arid land, but I guess it was too early. Have a nice day!

I love the monochrome effect of the light in these pictures, very atmospheric.

I can just feel the wind on my face as I see the storm clouds in your photos. I like the way the diminished light hits the water.
