Very nice Virgs... The petrified forest looks to be well worth a visit... I trust that the site is protected to avoid people getting too close.
On the picture of the bay, the lines are good, but I would have preferred to see the complete water line on the right hand side - one degree to the right would probably have done it...

Nice images here.
BTW, did you know that petrification of timber takes place relatively quickly, not over eons of years. We have a shipwreck on our nearby neach, maybe 50 years old?, and it is fully petrified.
Again, nice camera work.

That's very interesting and something I certainly didn't know. This forum may yet make me a learned man.

The petrified forest is just around the corner (3km) from bridgewater bay, which is near portland (vic)...

Indeed Matt, it is interesting stuff. Even fossils (plants, animals etc) have to be formed relatively quickly, otherwise they decompose.
We were going to photograph the fossilized shipwreck at Woolgoolga at the last minimeet in Coffs, but unfortunately most of it was buried by high sand levels etc. Maybe next time.
Cheers,
Max

2 Great and very different images. Love the colours in both, but I find the forest really intriguing, while I just want to run into the water in the second, the water looks so inviting.

When you are looking at the forest, you have your back to the sea...if take a wrong step, this is what greets you..
and this is the risk we take to get the good shots..
