I'm down at the beachshack in Victor Harbor, Fleurieu Peninsula, S.A this weekend. I've been gardening all day. No time for big posts on architecture, modernity, the uncanny and the landscape.
This image from the Bureau of Meteorology website reminds of spring time on the beaches at the foot of the cliff tops that we walk in the morning and evening.

This kind of landscape is pretty much our play ground. The public policy concerns and political preoccupations of Canberra just evaporate into the seaspray.
The poodles chase themselves to a standstill in this beachscape.
But this is the southern ocean not the rolling long waves of the Pacific. A little bit of carelessness and you are swept away from the rocks into the sea.
Alas, there are too many deaths along the south coast. There are not many warning signs and people (tourists) tend to ignore the ones that are there. So they are swept away by the surging seas.

I shoot these natural images because they are untamed by man, there are no signs, no roads, no fences, no brand of any kind! it is pure nature in its element. I beleive there should be no warnings of any kind, thats what makes us strong, it also ruin's a photograph!
