Mt Oberon Summit Photo

Photographer’s Note

There is a very nice photo of this under stormy weather already posted, this is the opposite weather. No wind and 40 deg C in the shade (100+F) and NO ONE AT THE BEACH. I did not erase any people honestly, it was a weekend and the parking lot was packed with some of the most perfect examples of the human physique I have ever seen anywhere (sorry no photos) and no one is swimming? Where did they go? Only the crazies were hiking with me in that heat.

Very nice landscape, the colors are so beautiful, especially the water.
Nobody on the beach, I'm dreaming...

Stunning colors and beautiful scenery. The clarity of the water is amazing. The horizon seems a little tilted, and the quality of the photo seems a little poor but considering the point of view and the actual beauty of this place these are but small matters.

Ocean, beach, grass and nobody... It's amazing! Is this place suitable for swimming?
Clours of ocean are very nice and reflections of clouds are great.
Thanks for share.

Amazing shift of colours - It seems the weather can be too good, its strange where all the people gone - thanks Tan, for you being there and dodcument.

Great Shot!! Where abouts was it taken- not from the top of Mt. Oberon cos you are much higher then?? As you can see from my photos I have been to the Prom many times, I cannot really understand it either, especially if the car park was full and on a weekend! I havehad the whole beach to myself but in mid-week and not 40 deg!! (Maybe they were all at lunch!?!)
Great shot though- did you enhance the colours?

My wife asked me to make a nice comment of your shot. She went to the Prom often as a kid, climbed Mt Oberon a few times, even seeing a Tiger snake on the way, and loves this place. Pity it's just been burnt out. Anyway, the colours and details (Tidal River curving around) are just beautiful. Well done.

Hi Tan

I think it was me who posted previously. Nice to see this same view under better weather conditions. I like the turquoise color of the sea. Well done.
