Orange Sunset at Half Moon Bay
I spent a delightful Wednesday evening a few weeks ago photographing with my friend Red Stiletto (red stilletto) at Half Moon Bay in Black Rock. There we photographed treasures in the rock pools in the late afternoon light as we waited for sunset. Thank you for a lovely spur-of-the-moment outing Red Stiletto! I had a great time in the magical light!
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme, or a selection of themes to choose from or combine is provided on the 5th of every month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the following month.
The themes for February are “water”, “all creatures great and small” and “the colour orange”.
Although not planned with “Snap Happy” in mind, the outing that we had produced a couple of photos that I thought perfect for the theme of “the colour orange” and “water”. This is my favourite as the dying rays of the sun sinking beneath the waves flood the sky with orange and highlight the clouds with orange highlights. I hope you like it!
Half Moon Bay is a beautiful beach located in the Melbourne suburb of Black Rock, about twenty-two kilometers south-east of Mebourne\'s centre.
In the bay the iconic shipwreck of the HMVS Cerberus sits just above the waterline. A naval vessel that predates Australian Federation in 1901, this ship is both living history and testament to Australia\'s maritime tradition.
Since its decommissioning shortly after the Great War, the HMVS Cerberus has served as a breakwater.
In addition to the bay and the HMVS Cerberus, there are also the wonderful sandstone cliffs of Red Bluff. Viewed at sunset their many colours are on full show and you could be forgiven for thinking momentarily that you were in Utah.
