Description Sorry about the unusual name for this series. . . The shots were taken a few mornings ago at Port Macquarie. . . Town Beach is broken by jagged outcrops of serpentine. The whole area seems to be metamorphics. . .

I really like the colours in this shot. It rewards a FULL VIEW.

I think there's a giant snake (sea serpent thing) that lives under those serpentine rocks.

I think what you do is chain yourself to a rock (naked of course as is always the case in legends) over night - and then the sea snake comes out and . . . Well, you know the rest. . . We might call you Andromeda.

Wonderful mix of texture and colour my friend. The lighting is amazing - I assume that there is no colour correction in this?

The oly comment I'd make is the old one about grain - something very wierd about the way your pictures get scanned.

No colour correction. . . Wouldn't know how to - and wouldn't want to. . . Wish I was better with my scans.

Thanks so much. It was worth crawling out of bed at 5.30 a.m. to get these shots.

Thanks. Probably because I took it back in the preCambrian era. . . I wish I had a pterodactyl silhouetted across the sky but they hadn't evolved yet.

It's a good thing you didn't end up in the Triassic era, you'd have been pretty low on the food totem pole.

Even the pterodactyls would've been above you...

I was about to say I know your lying because grasses and small ferns didn't show up until much later, but then I realized that there were no such plants in this shot, contrary to most of your photos.

Touchez, my friend, touchez.

I had a Flintstones style camera with a little sharp-billed bird inside pecking out the image on a rock. . . Amazing how well they come up.
