Shelley
Beach - Back To Front: The Coastline of the
Mornington Peninsula
Location:
Mornington Peninsula
Date
Released: November 2004
Shelley Beach is another of
Portsea's wonderful stretches of
bayside coast. This beach,
as with others near by, hosts
several interesting jetties and
beach houses. I really love
this photo for it's layering of
colours - the effect in the sky is
called 'Neptune's Rings' and is a
rare atmospheric phenomenon.
When there is a certain amount of
particles in the atmosphere
(perhaps as a result of
bushfires), the spectrum of light
is separated in to more prominent
and distinct bands of colour than
would normally be seen. This
effect, combined with the colours
of the plantlife make the scene so
interesting.
