Seaside Silhouettes at Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

            I think there is something incredibly beautiful about that time just as the sky starts to colour for sunset.  It is especially delightful at the seaside, where you can enjoy the distant crash of the waves and the chirp of the birds as they share their evensong, and if you are very lucky you can have it all to yourself as you watch the unfolding beauty of the setting sun and the way it creates crisp silhouettes of the trees and bushes.

The theme for Smile on Saturday for the 5th of June is “silhouettes”.  This shot taken of a lone tree at Melbourne’s Brighton Beach seemed to be the perfect shot to use for the theme.  The dark silhouettes of tree and the bushes against the light of sunset, is what made me take this photo in the first place.

The Melbourne suburb of Brighton, like its name sake in England, sits by the sea.  It has a long, curved bay which is also home to its most popular destination, Brighton Beach.  It has beautiful white sand and sparkling water.  Brighton Beach also boasts a line of 82 bathing boxes that were built between the turn of the Twentieth Century and the 1930s by the well-heeled citizens of Brighton. They provide a striking, colourful backdrop to the shoreline, creating a well-photographed spot.
