Lakes Entrance–March 21, 2017 – A Walk in the Mist

 

Eerie day in Lakes Entrance today, with a heavy sea mist blanketing much of our area.  We decided to go down to the beach to take some photos.  Heading first of all to Red Bluff Beach, which was almost completed hidden from view from the carpark

You can just make out the waves on the beach!

Very strange feeling standing on the lookout where normally we would be given a fabulous view of the sea, and on a clear day, the Oil Rigs in the distance but today, completely shrouded.


We then went down onto the beach, where the eerie feeling continued, as we were, as far as we could tell, alone on the beach in the mist. Very odd not being able to see the full length of the beach

The cliffs above the beach seemed to almost soar above us,  appearing and disappearing as the mist shifted and changed.

But the beach, as always, provided some photo opportunities, despite the misty conditions.  It was not cold, and no wind, so it was quite pleasant wandering along on the beach.

The tide was low, so we were able to climb around onto Lake Bunga Beach, and I took the opportunity to sit and take some photos of the water on the rocks (one of my favourite subjects!)

And of course, there are always shells and beach debris!

And plenty of other “stuff” to take photos of!  Like this dear little plant struggling to grow on the side of the path

And some things you just see, and have to photograph!

And by the time we got around to Bullock Island it was raining and way too wet to get out of the car, so this is the best I can offer.
