Lemme guess: Tark is short for...hmm... what could that be?

Meanwhile, this is certainly a very bold, evocative and especially, atmospheric rendering of the luminous Eddystone Point landscape. Timing is everything, and the gathering cloudscape lends the already arresting scene an ominous rapture.

I took refuge from a wild bluster in a semi-derelict hut near the lighthouse around 22 years ago. Fortunately the weather had cleared entirely on my arrival in sunny Bicheno!

I'm hoping that whiteness all around is the characteristic gleaming sand of the east coast – and not snow!

That's really nice - you should add it to the gallery with appropriate tags.

Thanks for commenting. I'm a newbee finding my way around the site - but haven't yet found the comment button to other's posts. Enjoy Tasmania, GB, the weather should be nice in March.

Well Taylor, 'Tark' could almost be an acronym for your name, but I'm sure you've already guessed what it's short for. And yes, you're also right about the "snow"! !

Thanks so much for the prompt reply - I'll go check it out.

Following that procedure reveals no text box at the bottom of the page on my screen; only a 'Like' button.

It's getting late here 'downunder'.
Maybe with a clear head in the morning.

Could you try again? I've enabled some additional permissions on your forum account which might affect this as well.

Thank you Taylor for your very picturesque description of the image. I have just edited my description in which the date taken was actually 2002, not 2022. If the wild bluster from which you took refuge had happened just two years earlier, then perchance we may have bumped into each other!

Thanks Paul.

I was at Eddystone Point in 2005, camping at obscenely pretty Ansons Bay/Bay of Fires — and shot the month's travels and trevails on Kodachrome 200 (which was then processed by Stallards in Launceston)! Remember Kodachrome? Yep, thems were the good ol' days...

Have you printed and framed that image? Surely after 24 years you've made a decision...?

As @koraks observed, the colours are wild and this singular feature is one of the strongest pitches a photograph can have to carry the scene over the line.

@Tark I have merged a number of your threads featuring single pictures of Australian landscapes into a combined thread and renamed it to reflect the new scope. Please feel free to add more of your Australian landscapes to this thread! For your other genres, like night-time city photography, we might do the same and collect them in one place as well.

Thanks Koraks: I should be honoured. 1:25 AM, Sunday; too late now - I'll get onto it later after some shut-eye.
