Wondering when we'll be going out again to enjoy the unseasonably mild temperatures.

Caloundra, Queensland. This shot on the beautiful Sunshine Coast looks from the headlands that define the start of Moreton Bay to the south. On the right is Kings Beach and beyond some of the traditional older inner area of what is now the City of Caloundra although much has been redeveloped in recent years.

 

The Glasshouse Mountains peak through on the horizon line with Mt. Beerwah, the highest on the right. The beach on the left was once the location of the Pumicestone Passage (northern) bar and part of Bribie Island, but following storms and cyclones and being naturally infilled, is offset now by several breaks through the island further south. It is a continuous beach for a distance and part of the "mainland". The passage runs around the back of the left beach and in front of the high rise buildings right down to near Beachmere.

 

This week, the Queensland Government has announced funding measures to shore up and minimise the new gaps that have appeared in Bribie Island following the ocean break through which are threatening the once quiet Golden Beach (where the high rise buildings are on far left) with becoming a surf beach and subsequent damage to coastline, road and even housing if allowed to continue. The beaches that are visible here are fronted by the northern end of Moreton Bay and the Pacific Ocean and are therefore surf beaches subject to the vagaries of tide and weather.

 

Much further south on the Gold Coast, major work is continuing to restore severely eroded beaches following Cyclone Alfred and other bad weather earlier this year.

 

Things will be quiet from me for a few days while I catch up on flickr comments and other domestic duties.

... like undulating ripples in the water

 

I took this image a while ago last spring, but have been playing with the processing, trying to find the right feel

2.6.2015. The harbour wall at Sennon has been battered by the Atlantic swell for over a hundred years.

Cape Cornwall can be seen in the top left corner of the image.

I was fascinated by the patterns and colours revealed during the slow shutter speed.

“For you made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you.” - St. Augustine of Hippo

 

St. Augustine’s famous prayer resonates with the very essence of our existence. He reminds us that God crafted us for a higher purpose, destined to seek fulfillment beyond the confines of this world. Ever restless, our hearts yearn for a deeper connection—a divine rest only found in our spiritual journey. Augustine’s words serve as a guiding light, urging us to seek meaning and purpose. We will only find true and everlasting rest in our Creator.

After posting one of my favourites from Tremenheere Sculpture Garden today (see previous post >>), it reminded me of another favourite which only works as a video, as it moves.

 

The video starts slowly and get exciting about halfway through.

Will you blow my way?

 

Pick me up off my feet .... just one last time

Just take me from here

Carry me away

I've been tied to a mast

Anchored to a shore

As long as you willing, then I'll be sure

To go with you....

 

As long as you promise to take me home again

" 10min./day, ? "

 

我々は息を詰めて走らなければならない。

我々は座ることを許されない。

我々は息をついて休むことを許されない。

馬のごとく、牛のごとく、

車を牽き、臼を挽き、糸を紡がなければならない。

我々は息を詰めて走らなければならない。

 

しかし、いつまで?

I'm Restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.

 

was going for the aurora but it dint show up but the milky way was amazing and since ive never been able to shoot it with good luck i had to try again ,dont be harsh if you dont like it :) ,the lights there by the mountain is light pollution ,did try to minimize it but dint want to over do it plus i kinda like having bit of light there

Meet me at the ocean

where the water meets the sand

Our world alone,

this is our eternity

 

I dream of this place

Waves crashing restlessly

on the beach...

 

This breath is not smooth, this mind not still.

The dust is heavy beneath the bed.

Even in the storm, I sit and breathe.

New life is near. I bow my head.
