quartz + lichen #2

Another in the  quartz and lichen abstraction series: 

This quartz and lichen formation  is amongst the  coastal granite  rocks near Kings Beach Rd in Waitpinga, walking east towards Petrel Cove.  

Lyell Abstract

This abstract is  of the rock face on  the side of the Lyell Highway.    It was made in 2017 and it was where  the highway  started to drop down  into Queenstown:

 From memory I was  walking along the side of the highway making a number of photos of the rock face. 

quartz abstraction #4

This macro abstraction of quartz was made on an afternoon  poodlewalk with Maleko along the rocks west of Dep's Beach:

This was made a week or so before the January heatwave in South Australia when it was possible to walk amongst he coastal rocks  in the late afternoon sun. 

dark granite

This picture was made whilst I was on a recent  poodlewalk with Maleko along the coast rocks near Kings Beach Rd. It was towards the end of the walk and I was in a hurry. 

 It was in the late afternoon. The weather was changing. A sou-westerly wind had up, the clouds became darker, the light lessened,  and I could sense rain. So we quickly made our way back to the Subaru Forester, that was parked at the bottom of Kings Beach Rd.  

bark abstraction

This abstraction of the bark of a eucalyptus tree was made whilst we were on the way to the beach at Encounter Bay in Victor Harbor:  

The bark is in the reserve opposite Encounter Studio. We have planted most of the trees in the reserve over the years.  

white abstract

Made on an early morning  poodlewalk with Kayla:

It was low tide so access to these distorted granite rock forms  was possible.   

granite abstract #4

A scoping study made on a poodlewalk with Maleko:

The next step is film camera--Linhof Technika 70--- a tripod and Kodak Portra film.
