Jettys

I shoot at Shorncliffe Pier on a regular basis. I am always looking for that different angle. In this shot I made the compass in the foreground the hero of the shot leading into the jetty and the colour in the sky.

This jetty or its predecessor brings back memories for me. My grandparents lived at Redcliffe so we used to go down there for holidays. (Redcliffe was where I bought my first camera, saved up from pocket money at age 8). My Dad did not have a car so we walked many places on our holidays. We loved fishing and I remember setting out from the house in the evening to walk the one or so kilometres to go fish on the jetty on an afternoon similar to this. Sue and I revisted it recently on a stormy, very windy afternoon. The camera on the tripod was shaking so we had to seek protection behind a shelter. The sun was going down to our right, lighting up the clouds.
