Recently I took the family down to a friend's beach house for a week...these will not be your "typical" beach shots however...for those who know me that will come as no surprise! First image is of rust on a spring (from the same playground equipment my POV entry involves)

Under the bridge that joins the mainland to "Phillip Island" a popular place out from Melbourne for summer swimming, surfing, penguins and Grand Prix motor bike racing...amongst other things.

Some pipes under the bridge...did I mention **rust**?

Finally for now...there is a "Fish & Chip" shop on the waterside that has big aquarium windows with all sorts of colourful denizens of the deep...here is a snap of a "Horseshoe Leatherjacket" ~ at least I think that's what it's called...I thought it was pretty anyway. Some crude photoshopping in an attempt to remove reflections in the glass...Hope you enjoyed these. :-)>

Oh wow! These are really great....colors are awesome =) Do you have more summer-shots ? It's getting cold and misty over here, so I'm in need of things that remind me of a great warm summer ;) Thanks!

I sure enjoy the colors you find. While everyone else is sneaking shots of the sunbathers, there's PC watching the plumbing...

These are just plain awsome! :) Thank you for sharing them with us!

fantastic shots- I like all 4! under the bridge the best- all are great POVs

Under the bridge is my fav too.....nice stuff Punkie!

I am, therefore I create.......

Thanks peoples! Rork, I'll chase up some more summer shots to warm you, we have only just started summer here. LOL Misha, you've got that about right! Hey Britt! Long time no see! (I liked your POV entry too btw) Thanks for the comments Cynlee & Michelle, I like the bridge one too... :-)>

Cool stuff PC... Do you use have a lens hood on your lens?

Nope, no lens hood, (or place to put it) on the digi...that would help with the reflections is what your saying? :-)>

Pic # 2 reminds me of a '90s hit song by a band who was supposed to play here on December 8 but cancelled. *grrr*

Nice ones, Cam. :-)

With a lens hood on, you can place the hood tight to the glass and get zero reflections....

Ahhhh...I always knew I listened to you for a reason! ;-)>

i like number 3... the other thing that you can do, of course is use a linear polarizer to take care of the reflections, but if you cant put a lens hood on, i would be surprised if you could fit a filter.

Cool fish Cameron. Like the repetition in the bridge picture, think we might be seeing some more of that. Nice to see its not raining out your way I just cant wait for summer to come round again. :O)
