Local+Photos+-+2010

September 2010 - I had cause to recently visit Dunally for a friday evening function and decided to stay overnight in the back of my wagon. Up early next day, breakfast at the bakery then onto Marion Bay. Navigating along the track to the spit end (lots of big puddles on the track!!!) I proceeded to the beach. The strong wind was coming from dunally and bitterly cold so I walked along the beach until I found a sheltered spot in the lee of a small dune. Here I sat in beautiful sunshine with camera and field binoculars, the wind howling around me (covering me in sand :- for a few hours soaking up everything that was going on. Although there were no birds (they would have been blown away!!!), the combination of a small surf running into the narrows and a stiff southerly wind blowing offshore resulted in a beautiful scene of waves rolling with their tops being blown backwards. I know it probably doesnt sound that exciting and my camera does not do justice but it was a wonderfully relaxing time experiencing the place that is Marion Bay. I hope you dont mind me sharing with you some of the photos that I took - david newman :-) P.S. The photos are small for the benefit of slow connections P.S.S. soon after this I dropped my camera in the sand.which took the gloss off things a bit :-(
