shadowy tunnels...

one of many shadowy tunnels at Fort Nepean, Point Nepean...
The first shot fired by the British Empire in World War I
was fired here just beyond Portsea on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula...

narrow light
coursing a labyrinth of
dark secrets

Overpass or Underpass?

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A view from above the Safety Beach overpass/underpass/small tunnel, Mornington Peninsula
The roadway passes under a small boating access to Port Phillip Bay and is crossed by a footbridge.
To access each end of the tunnel area by foot, there is a lift.

Inside Point Nepean

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A view inside one of the tunnels at Point Nepean, Mornington Peninsula
Point Nepean is a far southern point of Victoria, Australia.
Displayed here in the tunnel is an 1854 newspaper headline representing fear of attack from this vulnerable point.
After all, Australia was still an evolving colony, and there was precious gold to be found.
So this part of the peninsula became a place of defence complete with a cannon and a Quarantine Station.

There is something about a tunnel
That creates a sense of being
Closed in
Hemmed in
Maybe even
Trapped
~
But a tunnel also flames
The fires of curiosity ~
Where does it go?
Where does it lead?
~
A small glow
At the end
Inspires
Bristling
Excitement ~
An adrenalin rush of
Adventure
~

Walking toward the light
Drives a sense of
Hope

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dromana light a little closer
~
Reaching the light
Drives a sense of
Relief?
~
If only the dark spirit
Felt an urge
To keep walking
Steadily toward
The light

Roads are an art form?
