By the way, I am loading the maximum size photos I can for those who want to see more detail. This means that the pages and photos will take longer to load. If you want to see them large click on the description at the bottom of each photo and it should open in a new page at the original size instead of small photos.

Love all these shots. Too bad the other thread is going to be a no go. Keep posting these wonderful shots!

No worries, TA. Here is another photo of North Narrabeen Beach. What an amazing view. This day saw big, long waves. Hardly anyone on the beach because it is very early in the morning. Taken on the longest day of the year in Australia....Dec 22.

I also enjoy your pictures of people. You have a gift of capturing them in candid and normal moments that humanizes and really draws you into the scene. It feels as if you are there and you always are left wanting to know more about each subject. You are extremely talented.

Balmoral Beach is a nice beach. No surf here but a beautiful place to visit and have a stroll along. This beach is in an expensive part of Sydney. Tricky finding parking here on a sunny summer day.

This is another view of Balmoral Beach showing the southern side. This is a very popular beach and rightly so.

It was an older guy....maybe showing off to his girlfriend?

Bronte Beach is a family beach. You can see Tamarama Beach on the top and Bondi is around the corner after that.

Just for Booty. Here is Ghosties Beach with nobody on it except me! It is in a National Park so access takes an hour or so to reach.

Thank you Vince. This is a beautiful beach. I only like to share with wildlife and sea life..... Not other people.

Fraser Beach is north of Newcastle in the Munmorah State Recreation area. This is a popular beach because you can drive and park nearby.

We have a lot of protected National Parks in Australia. In Sydney there are several as well. Here is a beach in the Kuring-gai National Park. It is a half hour walk down to the beach. You can have it by yourself most days. There are some glorious sandstone cliffs on the right.

Here is a closeup of some of the beautiful sandstone patterns found at the end of Flint and Steel Beach.

Vince you are a beautiful person after all.

For Booty. Here is a beach for yourself. A short walk from Putty Beach on the Central Coast about an hour north of Sydney. A walk along where you will see some of the most beautiful sandstone formations. One of my favourite places to visit.

Vince B · « **Reply #142 on:** January 16, 2014, 07:42:40 PM »

The sandstone patterns and colours are breathtaking. How they stay clean is a mystery. I think some sand breaks away and this sand blasts the formations keeping them clean.

Vince, next time you visit QLD go and see world heritage Fraser Island. These are pics of Lake McKenzie.

Vince B · « **Reply #144 on:** January 16, 2014, 07:53:34 PM »

A mate just visited Fraser Island to photograph it. I haven't been there yet. I need a 4WD. Have a ute that I use for my gym. Fraser Island is made up mostly of sand and is a huge place with heaps of photo opportunities. The lakes apparently have clear, pristine water.

Vince, do you have any wildlife photos?

Vince B · « **Reply #146 on:** January 16, 2014, 07:56:31 PM »

Some days the surf is just too big and dangerous to think about swimming. Here is such a day at Dee Why Beach in Sydney's northern suburbs.

I haven't seen too much wildlife in the bush here in Australia. But flowers! I am called the Flower Guy by some members of my photography club. Here is the State Flower of NSW...the Waratah.

I had my 500mm lens and someone said there were whales. Heck, I preferred shooting landscapes and sandstone! I was at North Head in Sydney and some whales were passing nearby. Here is a lucky shot I captured that day.

It is a great gift from mother nature, over 100 freshwater lakes and white sandy beaches. Heaven for photographers.
