Lorne Pier

The original pier dated back to 1879 but over the years’ time and the sea had taken its toll. In 2006 construction started to build a new pier with modern facilities for both the fisherman and their fishing boats. Being the same length and width of the old pier, Lorne’s new pier opened in March of 2007 and cost five million dollars to construct. The end of the pier offers a wider section and lower platform which are very popular for the dozens of fishermen who fish from the pier each day.

Peekaboo Sunrise

It was a very cloudy morning with very few breaks. I shot this image when a momentary break revealed a glimpse of the early sun creating a lovely pink tint to the breaking waves.

Subtle Sunrise

One never knows what vision a sunrise will create. Heavily overcast, there was something wild and mystical about this particular view.

Blue Hour

Minutes after capturing this view, the scene changed completely as the tide rose to cover these rocks.

Changing Light

Very similar to the previous shot, in this image the sun now higher in the sky changes the colours.

Crashing Waves

I couldn't help but be in awe as the sound and sights of crashing waves continued relentlessly as they had since the beginning of time.

Storm Clouds

It was clouds like this that kept me ashore during my sailing days. Awesome but uninviting, sailing for pleasure eliminated these sea conditions.

Rocks & Waves

Crashing waves and rocky foreshore - an early morning in Lorne. I love the sound, smell, and sights where ocean meets the shore. With just the slightest change of camera position, there is another beautiful scene.

More Crashing Waves

I never get tired of the interaction between waves and foreshore. “There is something about the ocean that never fails to amaze me, the way she never fails to kiss the shores even though she is sent away, the way her waves can be both calm and terrifying and the way she never fails to sooth my soul.” ~ Tilicia Hairdat

Salt Sea Air

In this scene, the ocean waves come ashore more gently. The air was pungent with the smell of the ocean and the sound of gulls penetrated the sound of the waves washing along the foreshore.

Blue Hour Light

Most landscape photographers value the quality of light created by the low angle of the sun through clouds. Here the surf has a decidedly blue tint.

Rainbow

The rainbow is God's promise to His people, so it's a great way to start the day. I show this photo in the form of a panorama. View in full size.
