A wide-angle, horizontal photograph of ocean waves with a moody, bruised blue, purple, and gray color palette, rolling into the shoreline under a cloudy sky. The dark, somber tones of the water reflect the post's title, 'bruise,' and serve as a continuation of the 'Coastal Tranche' series from the Cape to Cape Walk.

A close-up, high-speed photograph of fine ocean spray and water droplets rising from a blowhole or breaking wave. The image's title, 'spittle,' directly connects to the visual of the water spray and continues the running theme of the 'Coastal Tranche' series, which explores the various forms of spray and foam from the Cape to Cape coastline.

A dramatic photograph of a powerful jet of seawater shooting upward from a blowhole on the rocky coastline of the Cape Naturaliste section of the Cape to Cape Walk in Western Australia. The image is filled with frothy white spray, or 'spume,' and is the first in the 'Coastal Tranche' series. Likely to be the Busselton Blowholes.

A photograph taken from below, looking up through the dense, leafy canopy of a tree. Bright sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a vibrant mosaic of different shades of green and light that strongly resembles a stained glass window. The dark, crisscrossing branches of the tree are visible against the bright sky.

Best Foot Forward

Image

A close-up photograph of a Pacific Reef Heron, a type of grey heron, standing on a sandy shore or beach. The bird is poised on one leg, with its other leg missing, creating a striking and poignant visual that plays directly on the post's title, "Best Foot Forward." The mottled grey feathers of the bird are in sharp focus against the soft, blurred background of the water's edge.

A vertical photograph of a skeletal, dead camel thorn tree (Vachellia erioloba) with gnarled black branches, standing starkly in the cracked white clay pan of Deadvlei, Namibia. The tree is centered against a backdrop of undulating, rust-red sand dunes, with a dramatic, overcast grey sky above.

This way. No, that way.

A low-angle, eye-level photograph of a camel thorn tree (Vachellia erioloba) with a wide, sprawling canopy and intricate, twisting exposed roots. The tree is isolated in a vast, flat red-sand desert with a distinct mountain range visible in the distance on the left. The sky above is a bright blue with scattered white clouds. The location is the Namib Desert in Namibia.

A high-contrast landscape photograph of a series of sand dunes silhouetted against a bright, cloud-filled sky. The dunes, which form a gentle, dark curve at the bottom of the frame, are in the foreground, catching the last light of the day or the first light of dawn. The sky is the dominant feature, with a dramatic pattern of small, scattered white clouds that appear to be in a flurry across the blue expanse above the desert horizon.
