For this image it is back to Limone Piemonte in the Italian Alps. And on this occasion I will leave it to you to speculate how and where this could have been taken; for it matters not really, just the late afternoon sunshine highlighting the beautiful patterns and textures.

As those who follow this blog will know, I like waves; the sheer variety of shapes from little ripples up to big rollers never ceases to fascinate. And to photograph them, without specialist equipment that is, you need to get wet. But wet, not drown. And on some beaches the only way you can do this is to photograph them head on, often with a long lens. Yet not all beaches. This is from one of my favourite beaches on the Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne. And the beaches often have  curves, so that you can stand on one curve, jutting out into the water, and photograph into the bay(let) of the next curve. And you still get wet, but only thigh deep and not drowned …. I prefer it that way.
