Coloured Coastlines…

We’d scoped out this little coloured cove the afternoon before. It was an ideal little spot for our first morning shoot on the island. I mean you can see it was spectacular of course with all these multi coloured lichens on the rocks. It was also just a short 10-15 minute walk on a well maintained path from our accomodation as well.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
I had thought that these masses of bright orange and red lichen covered rocks would only be found on our more southern shores in Australia. Places like Tasmania (the Bay of Fires) and Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It was a totally unexpected but welcome surprise to find them here on the eastern coast of Montague Island.
To start with we have a natural long exposure (a little over a minute) well before sunrise (5:15AM).

Having a particularly colourful sunrise to go along with these beautiful rocks was an added bonus. If anything the array of colours was even more diverse here than in other places I’d seen these lichens. Here we had colours ranging from the deeper reds and oranges through yellow and lime green.
