West Bay…

by on Jun.08, 2015, under Life, Photography

Today we were heading out to the westernmost park of the island – the aptly named West Bay.

It appeared we saved the roughest most car rattling ride for this our last full day on the island!. About 20km’s of rough dirt road (West Bay Road :)) leading west from the Flinders Chase Visitor Centre leads you to the most spectacular bay and beach.

We were here on a beautiful summers day, the conditions could not be more perfect for a day out on this wild and remote beach.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.

The girls enjoyed paddling, exploring and just relaxing…

It was also an opportunity for me to start working on a new portfolio piece. Something a little different to my usual landscape work… lets just say it involves seaweed – more when the project comes to fruition 🙂

It was just a day to enjoy the location, we were the only ones here so we had this whole paradise to ourselves…

This was even the perfect place for a little interpretive art photography in camera with some intentional camera movement.
