More Merewether Beach pics...







This is my fave image :)

Very similar images to my last post, but a different filter.
Thank you all for your lovely comments about the last bunch. I loved the way Katherine from The Old Boathouse described them by saying there's "something so iconically Australian about them in a romantic way not a "crikey mate" way". How nice is that?

ps the dentist visit went better than expected (ie. cheaper than expected!) Phew!

Merewether Beach on a beautiful morning


Last Monday morning at 6.30am I walked down to Merewether Beach, Newcastle to take some early morning pics. Warning : I got a little carried away...


It was a stunning morning on a beautiful beach.


The pic below is looking north towards the city centre.



If you look closely above you will see the big ocean ship waiting on the horizon to go into dock to load up with coal. I counted 10 ships on the horizon that day.



This is Merewether Ocean Baths. It is the largest ocean bath in the Southern Hemisphere.
It was drained for cleaning on this day but I loved the time and weather worn look of it.


That's the cute little pump house (above) and the Art Deco bath house (below).



One of my fave pics above :)




I felt so thrilled to see it looking so beautiful as just the next day it was grey and overcast.
It was so beautiful I might just have to post a few more pics later...
can you blame me?
I hope you all have a great week. I'm off to the dentist so that's not the best start!
Take care xx
