Breakwater Stroll

Beach Curtain

These are waves swishing across the beach in front of Beacon Hill Park, taken from above on a staircase that leads down to the beach. The longer exposure has caught the waves coming in and draining back across the beach, leaving layers of white foam patterns discernible and intermingled. To me it is like diaphanous curtain in a window.

Barbie Exhibition(ism)

Now, this is one of the more bizarre art installations you will find in staid, conservative Victoria. This tree is in someone’s front yard, and as you can see, it is hung with Barbies and their kin. I see this tree during my daily commute and have been meaning to photograph it for a while. I find it fascinating. Creepy. And remarkably durable. And, I don’t understand it. Perhaps that is my own failing. However, there is quite a lot to like about it. It’s outrageous; a good use for Barbies; it exposes something pretty essential about the purpose of these kinds of toys; it makes you stop; look; think; wonder; and its a fantastic blog subject (I suspect you are feeling creeped out, but wishing you had one to photograph as well). I wish I lived a bit closer so I could catch these dolls in different light – I suspect some really interesting photos could be taken here at the right time.

Ross Bay Zigzag

Another picture of a storm drain in Ross Bay, Victoria, the first one was looking straight along its length. This image leads my eye through it in a zig zag pattern – perhaps not ideal, but I do end up scanning the whole thing rather than concentrating just on one aspect, which works for this image (for me, anyway).
