Midwinter moring’s on the beach can be invigorating in this part of the world at times. With icy winds possible from any direction. It’s also a time of fantastic light, and generally one of peaceful isolation.

Looking east across the beach from the Anglesea river mouth, towards Pt Addis, there’s a shock of light on the horizon that touches the ocean and illuminates the dramatic sky. With glassy reflections picking up the sheen of wet sand along the shoreline. The air was sharp but the view well worth the exposure.
