Natures Miniaturization

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 28 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Another shot from the Easter Weekend, this one from the rock pool at Blouberg beach. Its fascinating how the small rock in the foreground, mimics Table Mountain, in the background.

You have an excellent eye! Totally agree.
Nice shot, the sea looks kind of calm?

@Ina: Thanks Ina, just a calm moment I think.

It's like the smaller rock wants to grow up to be "just like Table Mountain."

@Tracey: Heh, yeah it does look like that

Graham, you're killing me with these amazing shots. What I'm wondering – never having been to your part of the world – is this the sea, the ocean or an inland lake?

@Ron: Ron thanks for you interest. This picture was taken from a rock pool looking out over the Table Bay (Atlantic Ocean) towards table mountain. This shot http://grazy.aminus3.com/portfolio/12.html, is from further back in the rock pool.

Graham this shot just took my breath away. I've said before that landscapes are your forte. I know Cape Town is beautiful - I live here - but you just encourage this beautiful scenery to bask in its own special glory.

@Jaynee: Thanks Jaynee, Cape Town's beauty makes it easy for photographers to take good shots.

I love the way the backround is softer than the forground. It really stands out. And the color is nice also.

Stunning scenery and so well taken. I like how you've been so bold as to include so much empty sky. On the face of it, it would seem to be not the thing to do, although in this case, that vast expanse really does balance well with the forms in the lower part of the frame.

Postcard perfect. I, too, like the blues in the foreground are stronger than the background. Well done!
