Description
Clifton Springs on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, Australia, was once a popular place for Melbournians to come and "take the waters", natural mineral springs that bubbled up from underneath the ground. A bottling plant and bath houses were built along with two piers, the long jetty where the steamers from Melbourne would tie up and a shorter jetty for fishing and swimming from.
All have now fallen into disrepair and a walk along the beach reveals remnants of the areas past history, bottles and bricks from the bottling plant and the remains of the 2 piers.

Lovey capture of something that once was, and still is, very beautiful! LF

Thanks Bill, I'm happy you like it! I see it as a kind of sculpture created by time and the sea.

I love this shot. A jetty that has outlived its original purpose and become a kind of living sculpture.

Wonderfully captured, Linda! terrific perspective, really draws the eye wayyy down the length of the image , I can feel the textures of the wood .. & the muted colours of the rippling waters {leading to a soft aquamarine yonder} is so soothing ... this is an image I can gaze upon for hours ;))
