4WD came around the corner off the beach and ruined the shot for the bow but made a great fence shot. Preston beach.

First sunrise in kalbarri In the rain 64 ASA Kodak 50mm F1.8 Olympus OM2-N

I did this road on the M/C in the PIP with my new bride fell over in the very loose sand three times ( was not going fast) burnt my leg on the muffler. Very hot day. Now its a sealed road in.64 ASA Kodak 50mm F1.8 Olympus OM2-N

A slide shot of my first time here in the 70's.64 ASA Kodak 50mm F1.8 Olympus OM2-N PIP is 2018

Just to show I have always been to far ahead of myself trying to run before I could even walk. this was a panorama I made out on two SLIDES that I was going to print and try to put together. This was joined today by PTGui from the two digital images. I have kept them the same all I have done is remove the dust from the image so Its as close to original as you can get after some 40 odd years. this was taken late 70's so this will have been 50mm and 64 ASA Kodak film Olympus OM1. enjoy the colour mist and clouds. Just goes to show we still see the same today as yesterday.

The Z bend look out its straight down to the river below just as well there was a fence.

Rodger Water - The Wall Live Tour 2012 enjoy the sounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_krWExdnKs Pushing a camera to its limits.

Cloud free forecast total cloud cover so I left my astro lens at home to save weight , so I had to use the 16-35mm F4 for a second time I am happy to say passed with flying colours. while I walked here( 15 min) from the motel to capture the Milky Way Bow in Black skies yes that close. This is a shot that was taken for just one group in mind I would have never taken this shot before total have shunned it. the lighting is provided by kalbarri town ship behind me and the stars all around. enjoy a clouded night in the mid west. Note the Zodiacal light on the left hand side of the Milky Way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiacal_light

very high up on the tops looking down into the Murchison river as it twists and turns on its way to the sea.

For those that have followed the trip to Kalbarri will have seen a strange landscape all in layers from the sea to the top of natures window. for those with a bit of geological knowledge here is the reason. Sedimentary is laid down by water look at what is front of you those that know a beach you will recognize the shapes in the rock. note this is high up on the cliff next to natures window. this layer showed up a a few more places on the walk down. Check the PIP although from a whole different land (NZ) on a living beach the same water principles apply to the sand and the patterns created. now turned to stone.

A big part of this area is the colours and the patterns in the stones.
