Morning Swim At Middleton Beach

Morning Swim At Middleton Beach
It has been a while since I have posted consistently here and I am happy to share another picture I took during our recent vacation trip to Western Australia. The clear waters at Middleton Beach in Albany looked very inviting for a swim. Personally, I would prefer to swim in the comfort of the warm pool waters in Singapore given our very hot weather. However, the much cooler (but still sunny) weather and the approaching winter in Albany did not stop many early morning local swimming enthusiasts for sure!

Wave Power Over The Gap

Wave Power Over The Gap
We made a visit to The Gap and Natural Bridge at Torndirrup National Park during our recent trip to Albany, Western Australia. The views at this easy-to-access (important when travelling with kids!) can best be described at their official website:

“Lookouts at both The Gap and Natural Bridge provide outstanding views of the Southern Ocean and the coast from Bald Head to West Cape Howe. Visitors to The Gap can venture onto the accessible viewing platform 40m above the surging seas.

From the gentle and mesmerising heaving of calm seas, to the buffeting rush of wind and spray of winter storms the experience changes from day to day. A raised pathway leads from the parking and picnic area across the top of the exposed granite ramparts to reach the viewing platform at The Gap. The pathway allows safe access to some of the best views, while keeping vulnerable plants and lichens on the rock surface from harm’s way.”

After Sunset At Busselton Jetty

Busselton Jetty has always been an attraction for me whenever I travel to Western Australia since my first visit in 2003, more than 20 years ago! There is something about the jetty that draws me photography-wise and I am grateful that I brought my tripod along on my most recent trip just a week ago. I love the colours and mood, with the composition enhanced by an unexpected outline of a pool of water in the foreground, likely left behind by an earlier period of high-tide.
