Early morning stroll on a beach.

These tropical beach photos I took when on holiday at Hervey Bay, Queensland Australia.
Great, I just worked out how to upload using thumbnails. :)

[jonrayner]

Wow, they are amazing. I would be ecstatic if I took these shots. Spot on. Wish I lived near something like that, oh well back to my cold, dark, grey wet world of Sheffield!!

[perfectoarts]

Hey Jon I posted the images to lift your spirits. Not put you in the doldrums! Day dream real hard, ok? ;)

[jonrayner]

Well they have worked, I do feel better, Thanks.

I WANNA BE THERE! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Someone buy me a ticket!

Ok, so while you are all freezing in the Northern Hemisphere, we are sweltering away in the tropics. That is Tropical North Queensland Australia. It is the build up for the wet monsoon season and pretty horrid.
Had to take a seaplane to the Whitsunday Island at Whitehaven Beach for a wedding shoot a couple of weeks ago. Now THAT is what I call God's country and a beach. Enjoy it and bask in the sunshine.
It was so super bright, even the polarizer was struggling :cool:
Merry Christmas!

OK I won't tease you anymore. It is late and time for my shut eye.

[jonrayner]

Well, you had lifted my spirits but now they're dashed! They almost don't look real as they look soooooo nice. That's it time to book a holiday, I'm going to print one of those pictures out and take it to the travel agents and state I wish to go there.... and NOW!!!!

[LensBaby]

OK I was wondering where I could go that would look like that. Now I know ...THANKS. By the way I am not a jealout person but I AM JEALOUS. One question...is there ever any people there? Because if I lived there I wouldn't leave!

Who are you trying to kid? You'd miss Walmart too much. HAHAHAHAHA :D

[LensBaby]

ummmmmmm actually we do not shop at Walmart for any reason. When we found out what they do as far as paying employees so little and then TELLING them OH you can go get on state aid for health care. The walton family are the SCROOGE family. I am so glad that I was brought up better than that. My kids actually each bought for a child for Christmas that wouldn't have anything otherwise, and when we went back to where the giving tree was the lady told us we were the ONLY family to do that. My daughter asked if we would take all of her money for Christmas presents and buy those kids something. How sweet is that? Yet The Waltons are scrooges. Ok now you got me going! hahahahah

Just was a tease, Susan... heh stop foaming at the mouth, will ya? :D

Actually, I don't use WallyWorld much either. Mostly for those very reasons and the one we have is like shopping in an insane asylum... literally. So, I steer clear of it as does the Missus.

[LensBaby]

I know you were teasing! It is crazy there ...the people...not enough cashiers. I like Target the only thing with Target is they dont have a big selection of stuff in some of them. Its funny cause my mother in law wanted a walmart gift card and I told her she was outta luck! She will have to go somewhere else.

[Snappers]

Those pics are beautiful. I wanna go now!!!!! The closest I will get to that sceene for a very long time will be in my dreams. There is noooooooooo chance I could ever afford to go somewhere like that. I looks sooooooo peaceful. Ahhh well, I think I had better print it off about 6ft in size and paste it on the ceiling of my bedroom then it will be the last thing I see before I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I wake up.

I felt the same way when I arrived by seaplane at this beach.

Here are a couple in the plane itself. Not too bad seeing these were taken through perspex glass. Not so happy about the dodgy wing though. Ah...what a way to have gone to heaven though :)

If you want a larger file size to print out, email me and I shall send it to you for printout.

[LensBaby]

Oh I will never be able to go there either, so thanks for giving me the opportunity to see it Thanks

[jennifer]

Your pictures are just beautiful. Amazing!

[Snappers]

That first pic is amazing. So beautiful. And you got the opportunity to work there, wow. Do you need anyone to carry your bags :D

You have a PM.

[perfectoarts]

Photo sent to you Andy. Trust it was the one you wanted. If the email bounces back due to huge file size, I will reduce it for you.

I got it no problem thanks Ingrid. Can't wait to print it out and put it on my wall.

Just going through a lot of the old posts. Note that sooooo many of you wanted to come our way. Well here is your chance.
I have been hanging off ladders with paintbrush in hand now for a month and still have another probable 2 months to go. Painting the house is hideous and the exterior lattice work is enough to send you to Rehab.
So any takers, you know where to find us :) :)
