The Last Beach for Now
Lens: DA* 16-50 Camera: K-5 Photo Location: Chinaman's Beach, Jervis Bay, NSW, AUS 
Posted By: RichardS, 08-09-2012, 11:54 PM

This is the last beach for now. The weather has broken and, while storms can be photogenic, it's too darn cold and it's windy enough to blow a dog off a chain.

Chinaman's Beach is just to the north of Hyams Beach.

More crowds








Thanks for looking at my three beach posts over the last few days.

Richard.

Stunningly beautiful. I would love to visit. I have enjoyed all the beach shots very much. While I adore the lonely beach scenes the images with people really give it perspective and bring the place "home" for me.

another beautiful beach all to yourself, being from California, this is a rare sight. Thanks for posting all the threads. Bob

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. We are very lucky with the beaches we have. It's been difficult at this time of year to find people to put into the shots

Every now and then I have a mild case of envy for my sister-in-law who lives here. We're driving back to Melbourne tomorrow to this ...



but luckily I work from home and only have to face the crowds a couple of times a year.

Man, Richard, these wonderful shots are so clean, clear and composed perfectly. Refreshingly different.

Wow. Thanks, Jer. It's difficult to go wrong with views like these.

We've got a low pressure system centred over the Tasman sea (that's between Oz and NZ) and a high pressure system near Adelaide (that's about 1250km to the west) and the result is a high speed airstream between the two systems that's more or less southerly around here. Southerly winds are cold.

But 'cold' is relative. There were surfers and kids on boogie boards out today on the bay. I guess it was around 15C/59F. Maybe a bit colder. Almost too cold to go outside

Richard.
