by the pool

Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 7 May 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture.

as promised, today i am posting a wider view of the ocean side pool near Bondi Beach... this is mostly to put the previous closer framing into context... it is a lovely place in my opinion and i was lucky enough to have excellent weather when i was there...

on another note i will be taking some time out from Am3 in the near future, which is largely due to my going away to Europe for three months, on May 20... if i do get a chance i will try to post some photos from my trip and to drop in and have a look at all your new wonderful shots... otherwise i will be back in August with lost more photos to share ;-)

welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...

Wonderful shot, DE... and a great idea, adding an ocean-fed pool at a location where access to the oceans looks tenuous at best. Have fun on your trip... unless, of course, it's work-related, in which case, "do a good job in Europe!" In either case, we Am3-ers will look forward to (and ultimately expect ;-)) your terrific posts on these pages!

I certainly like the composition, though the canopy in the bottom spoils the flow through the image a tad, but hey sometimes you gotta take what you can.

Have a great trip to Europe you will have some great stuff to post for sure, when you get home, just make sure you've got plenty of memory;-))

Well done

Wayne
