seascapes

Two seascapes from the winter of 2022. Both of the pictures are of Encounter Bay  from Rosetta Head (Kongkengguwarr) . This is a headland, 97m above sea level

I pretty much stand in the same location  and I'm looking  in the same direction east by south east --- the camera is basically  looking across  Encounter Bay to the coastline  of the Coorong.  

This is  in the late afternoon just before the sun disappeared behind the Mt Lofty Ranges in Waitpinga. 

 This is in the early morning before sunrise. 

This is a long term project and  is a shift  the emphasis away from  the single image (the good photograph) that is abstracted from its context and which is  favoured by   the gallery and the high art market. The project is a movement  towards  a series of photographs. 

Rosetta Head is known as Kongkengguwar (or Longkewar) by the Ramindjeri people  and it is a headland, 97m above sea level. It is made of granite that was formed around 500 million years ago during the Cambrian Period.  Its dome shape is the result of north moving glacier and then the sea level rise from the melting of the ice age.
