Such a pleasure visiting Ben Lomond National Park
My image is exhibited with a number of other images at the Kingston Art Gallery, corner Nepean Highway and South Road Moorabbin in Melbourne till 9th November.
The theme for 2024 was “What inspires you”. My interpretation was : “Coastal living is my passion. It inspires me in terms of the beauty and power of nature - where the land meets the sea. The coastline commonly provides a vista view of different cloud formations and also an awe-inspiring backdrop for colourful sunrises and sunsets . The coast can also showcase the unadulterated power of the ocean. In a calmer sense, the coastline is often a meeting place for people – be it for a relaxing walk, some fishing or the variety of water-based pastimes. Coastal living is indeed my passion.

I am blessed to have travelled to many picturesque countries and places like Alaska, Canadian Rocky Mountains, New Zealand’s South Island and the Lake District in the UK. I am awed by the natural beauty of Switzerland every time I visit this relatively small-sized country with its riches galore.

On a photographic group trip with Ian Rolfe, dawn starts allowed us to experience magnificent light amongst the seascapes. This image was taken at Fetheringate Beach, Flinders island.
Although primarily loving landscape and seascape photography, experimentation with other genres can be interesting. The topic of this Exhibition was Realism.
Particularly loving landscapes and seascapes, I dabble in street scene sometimes. Here, weekly prize winner - Street Scenes Facebook site Aussie Photography October 2023 "Grecian street scene". Santorini.
