2014 moments #9

I would like to share my 10 most memorable photographs of the past year over the coming days with you. These are shots that I am particularly proud of, while each evokes a sense of place and meaning from 2014.

FREERS BLISS

A perfectly lonely beach where the light blue water matches the cyan of a clear early autumn sky. This is Freers on the coast of Tasmania, Australia’s beautiful island state. It’s a picture of natural solitude, broken only by the scuttling of hundreds of sand crabs nearby. And it’s just one image of many contenders from a memorable journey around a small part of the other end of the Earth.

I am sure this is a stunning place that stands in its own right, but the photo fits in nicely with your Thames estuary and Canary Island beaches! :)

  That’s a very good point, Laura! It would be easy to make up the numbers. But have I missed the boat?! I’m pleased you’re enjoying the recap… much appreciated.

A particularly beautiful image (from the other end of the earth indeed). Peace, solitude and beauty all wrapped up in one image.

  Thank you very much, Lee. There were a lot of Tasmanian images to choose from, but this one stuck in the mind.
