Looking down on Yallingup
We are still on the Cape to Cape walking track as we look behind us at Yallingup Beach, the nursery for most of our state’s top surfers and one of our very favourite places. This is on the Indian Ocean coast some 320kms south west of Perth, Western Australia. I might add that the ocean is usually far more active than it is in this picture. This is all part of the Leeuwin/Naturaliste National Park

Gee it was very calm the day this photo was taken, not sure I’ve actually ever seen Yallingup this calm before?!
Great shot Peter :)

Hi Kylie and many thanks. This was last Tuesday but in fact it had been flat calm pretty well all week. Peter
Rosina Lamberti
beautiful shot,,, well done
georgieboy98 in reply to Rosina Lamberti’s comment
Thanks very much Rosina. We actually met and got talking to a young lass who was doing all 110 kms of this walking track on her own! She was loaded down with camping gear, food etc and had 5 days only in which to do it all! Peter

It’s so worth that look down. What a fantastic view Peter. Amazing image.

Hi Teresa and very many thanks. So glad you like it. Did you know that Connie (conifer) – ex 3PAW – is in RB now? Peter
Irene Burdell

georgieboy98 in reply to Irene Burdell’s comment
I know, I know, it’s tough! But we grit our teeth and carry on as best we can!
Susan King
Beautiful scene, well captured

Hi Susan – how are you keeping? One of our friends was in Essex a couple of weeks ago and stayed in Braintree too! Many thanks for the nice words. Peter
Catherine Veal
that looks so beautiful Peter, i’m totally envious of you.lol hugs x
georgieboy98 in reply to Catherine Veal’s comment
Aw, but never mind – you can visit lovely Teignmouth any time you like and it will only take you a few minutes to get there. We have to drive over 300 kms to get to this area and that’s about a three and a half hour journey! So there’s quite a difference. But I’m so glad that you like it – maybe if you’re good Richard will bring you out here for a holiday – or better still maybe he’ll let you come on your own!! LOL Hugs, Peter

Love this view Peter, and the title is just right. It’s a long way down to the beach from here. Beautiful sea and sand, no wonder that it’s a favourite place of yours. Don.
georgieboy98 in reply to DonDavisUK’s comment
Hi Don and many thanks once again. When I took this photo we had just passed a flight of steps that led down to the beach and just the sight of it was pretty daunting I don’t mind admitting! Regards, Peter

Hi Peter, I thought as much. We take Julie’s dad out as much as we can and up until just last year he was playing 3 rounds of golf a week (not bad for 87), now he can bearly shuffle around, he’d love to visit places like the beach, but around Cornwall many of the beautiful places are just like this. So we have to admire the view from afar. Blessings, Don.
Susan Moss
Really great shot Peter, super colours
georgieboy98 in reply to Susan Moss’s comment
Thanks very much indeed Susan – we were certainly lucky with the weather for that few days. We wouldn’t have wanted to be down there this week! Peter
naturelover
It is sleet, rain and a cold wind here Peter- so you KNOW what I’m going to say- apart from that this is absolutely stunning- great work!!!
georgieboy98 in reply to naturelover’s comment
LOL – poor you but never mind! With any luck you’ll be able to capture some wonderful snow scenes over the winter! Or would you prefer me to add some snow to these scenes? Hee hee – thanks mate! Peter
Carol Barona
Gorgeous capture. Lovely textures and excellent dof. Colors are truly amazing, perfect angle
georgieboy98 in reply to Carol Barona’s comment
Hi Carol. Great to see you again and very many thanks for the kind words. Peter

A beautiful view from the elevated viewpoint Peter, it seems like Paradise compared to what we are having weather wise lately, I’m sure I could tolerate those crowds on the bach, there must be at least six of them, very well captured,
Regards, Rod.
georgieboy98
Very many thanks Rod and no doubt you will have noticed that there was some wispy cloud in this scene! By later in the day that had blossomed out to some really wonderful cloud patterns that I managed to capture in subsequent photos yet to be posted. The beach was actually quite crowded for an out of season weekday and out of shot there were some 20 or 30 surfers having a great time! Best wishes old friend, Peter
Susan Moss
My family are there this week, I don’t think the kids will get much swimming time!
georgieboy98 in reply to Susan Moss’s comment
You never can tell. Last Wednesday night you had a storm in Perth and we had absolutely nothing down at Smiths Beach – but we could look out of the window and see distant lightning from the general direction of Perth.
John Pitman
Love this beach and the walks around it. Well taken. John
georgieboy98 in reply to John Pitman’s comment
Me too – and last week it was particularly inviting. Thanks for looking in. Peter
JayVee
Nice stretch of beach that is Peter. Nice to see you’ve included that yellow bush on the right.
georgieboy98
Thanks very much Jay. We were surprised that there was still so much colour in the bush. Peter
Cheyenne
Such beautiful water! I do love this! :)
georgieboy98 in reply to Cheyenne’s comment
It’s been a favourite place of ours for many, many years. Thanks very much for the kind words. Peter
