Something for the Weekend - Part 126 - Summer at the Beach

[Dean_Utian]

In the great Something for the Weekend tradition, magnificently organised by davescm, and encouraged by Trevor.Dennis, I am honoured to post something this time. Should still be weekend left for this to still hold true

I took this panoramic photo at Bondi Beach about an hour ago. Sorry if it is upsetting to anyone - seeing the great weather we're having and that people are able to go to the beach.

Hope you can make something interesting out of it.

I like it but I doubt your image will be picked up by the tourist board Trevor 🙂

Perhaps it's a friendly shark. The surfers don't appear to be too worried. 

Maybe one of the surfers is Mick Fanning (Aussie surfer known for punching a shark) 🙂

[Trevor.Dennis]

These are Ozi dudes we are talking about Dean.  He'll be saying 'G'day mate. No worries.'

[Dean_Utian]

Trever - and 
"No wucka’s" (extra Aussie version of "No worries.") Sometimes "No wuckin forries." 🙂
"She'll be right."
"Bloody oath."
"You little ripper."
🙂

if that was real then the shark in the photo is moving so fast that the surfer has not seen him yet... they jump fully out of the water

A good hat is needed on a hot day at the beach.

Thanks Dave for being the model.

what are the 3 beams of light about... is Dave thinking up new ideas for the weekend?

[Dean_Utian]

I'll go with beams of ideas rather thn some other weird lighting effect 🙂
Correction - Looking again, my lighting wasn't quite right. 

Here it the lighting corrected and  little more subtle with those beams.

[davescm]

Ah, that's my thinking hat. I look like I'm working but my mind is at the beach 🙂

If anyone was wondering what this was:

It was a crowd of people in a party-like situation. Closer view below:

@Dean_Utian, I started an image, but some things came up this week and I had to set it aside. I had started to do something about the Wellermans from the Weller Brothers in Sydney bringing sugar and tea and rum to the whaling ships.
