I headed to Birdlings flat this morning to hopefully grab a few photo’s, but in reality it was to escape life if I’m being true to myself.
When busy life and work pressures mount I find that getting away from people in general, and certainly the city is a good way to help clear my mind. The sea south of Banks Peninsular is a very wild place as far as Canterbury goes, steep beach’s, strong currents, wind and stirred up seas. It can be a great place for dramatic photos but more often its harsh environment isn’t conducive for photography. So after the 35 minute drive there and 20 minute hike along the beach to its North end with my gear and after a couple of photo’s I found myself just watching sea birds and the waves on the rocks. I packed up and headed over to the nearby calm but blocked off outlet of Lake Forsyth, such a contrast maybe only 25-30 meters away from the sea. Clam and a lot clearer air without the ever present sea spray, I sat there and just watched a few sea birds before taking any photos, no one for miles and with the sound of the sea as background it was just what I needed.
