Today’s, tomorrow’s and the final chapter’s single images were all taken within one half-hour, late on the afternoon of October 25, 2018.
On their “journey” from first to third photo my feet took only a few steps, on a single, nigh-horizontal strand, in almost-unchanging weather and light.
However, if you bend your knees, turn your head a little, and/or change your camera’s focus and/or focal length, one place and circumstance can yield three very different “worlds”.
Shallow Inlet Marine and Conservation Park is immediately northwest of Wilsons Promontory National Park.
“The Prom” has mainland Australia’s southernmost point.
If my beloved and I had visited Shallow Inlet just a few weeks earlier we would almost certainly have seen a great many migratory birds.
However, at low tide on this day, a wide-angle view across the tidal flats toward Wilsons Promontory presented casual viewers with a vast, largely-lifeless expanse…or so it seemed.
Tomorrow’s second chapter will offer a closer view to what forms the low horizon on this first chapter’s right hand side.
