Riviera Variety Splash

The reason why you haven’t heard from me for a while is I am on a mates 47′ Riviera and we have cruised down South to Quindalup with the RIviera Variety Splash, which is a fund raiser for Variety which supports families with kids in need.

We have had a wonderful cruise so far with Northerlies up our butt on the way down and a dead flat sunrise this morning that produced this special start to the day for me.

Getting to the shore was a bit of a challenge, with my camera and a few lenses in a waterproof bag and then paddling into the beach on a stand up board!

Stay tuned for more Variety Bash shots!

Looks sweet mate! Horizon dangerously close to the middle though 🙂 Sitting down can dramatize the lines and lift that horizon 🙂

I foresee a great photo op in the Kimberley, True North Mark battling a croc, smashing that thing with his 1D ! Show that Lik fella who the real adventureman is 🙂 I’ll capture the picture mate, Dave will be too busy resetting batteries etc.

  - I wondered where you had gone! That’s a lovely image. Great colors. I am jealous – I went out to Smiths Beach and got nothing.
