Based in bayside Melbourne, my local Mordialloc is blessed with a longish pier which is very popular with fishermen and women. The weather conditions there can be very changeable. Recently it became very windy around dusk.

Photo-touring with Rod Ireland from Keswick way in the Lake District, he suggested I explore monochrome interpretation of the landscape.
The Lake District in UK is known to be very picturesque. This image below is from a valley in Grasmere. Other images are also around the Lake District.
Wasdale is a valley in the western part of the Lake District National park in Cumbriua, England.. The River Irt flows through the valley to its estuary at Ravenglass. A large part of the main valley floor is occupied by Wastwater, the deepest lake in England (258 feet). It is also the site of the highest peak in England, Scafell Pike.

Seascape and coastal scenes are available across Bayside Melbourne
Bayside Port Phillip Bay offers many photographic opportunities - especially in the seascape genre. Photographic style can incorporate long exposures, cloudscapes or sunsets.
I like to reflect back on some of my travels and locate some previous photographs to remind me of the diversity of environments throughout the world. Here there are landscapes from South Australia, Scotland, Alaska and Switzerland respectively.
Nice spot is Jam Jerrup, quite secluded for coastal shots like this, in Westernport Victoria.
I consider myself lucky to live in south east Melbourne - Bayside. Photographically, it allows me to readily capture coastal scenes.
