Textures and Rhythms

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Lots of rain this year in the Dromana Hills seems to make the Autumn leaves emerge slowly.
But the rain creates interesting gloss on the leaves and rich textures on tree trunks.

Blotchy Beauty

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Martha Cove and Marina, Mornington Peninsula is a beautiful, scenic world of shining boats waiting for journeys.
But all is not as it seems.
Look closely at the expensive, coloured, same "little boxes" along the waterway leading to Port Phillip Bay, and you will find many are empty.
Nearby, is another new development where streets of blocks of land can't be sold.
The developer went into liquidation over this 92 hectare $650 million "nightmare project"!
{Ref: Bad Developers ~ Martha Cove Development (Tassels Creek)}
Today, we spoke to a man with a yacht moored in the marina!
He said that there were no accessible retail facilities (such as for washing) so he was just stopping awhile before moving on to Queenscliff across the Bay!
A sign says retail is coming soon!
It has been there for about two years!
Enough said!
