Exile Bay

Sometimes for our evening walk we pick up coffees and walk along the eastern side of Exile Bay. This was the scene mid-august as the sun was setting over the Bay. The shots are looking west over Bayview Park with the Bushells Factory being the prominent building in the shots.

I  tried to get the texture on the water as well as the sky.

Shot on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and probably processed by Samaung’s software to make it look good!

Mangroves

This afternoons walk was just as the sun was setting and the twilight was upon us. Jane had been talking about abstract art and I shot these images of the mangroves in the falling light as the shapes looked sort of abstract to me.
