Photographers Note
Champagne Pools, this shot was taken when there was not much "champagne" left in the pools ;) during high tide, waves run over the rocks creating magnificent view where people can be seen, pools would be filled with "champagne bubbles".. a bit about where it is..
Fraser Island is the world's largest sand island, and Australia's largest off-shore island, being 124 km long and 5.25km wide. It can be reached by commercial ferry or plane operated by tourist companies based on the mainland. The island is readily accessible from Brisbane by plane or road, or by barge or ferry from Hervey Bay, Inskip Point (Rainbow Beach) or Mary River Heads on the mainland. The ferry takes 30 minutes from the Hervey Bay.
The only way to get around the island is by 4WD. There is a wide range of tracks for driving to the main places of interest, but you have to be able to drive a 4WD in varying terrains - mainly sand - after all, Fraser Island is ALL sand! Fraser's beaches are particularly attractive for those with 4WD vehicles, but the island is large enough to provide plenty of room for everyone.You can drive on the Seventy Mile Beach, that is the only way to travel north, depending on the tide conditions, you may have to sleep in your 4WD if high tide moves in :))
Scenically, Fraser Island features seemingly endless miles of beaches and sand dunes, long stretches of mangroves, exceptionally clear-water creeks, cliffs of coloured sands, tall unspoilt rainforests - and half the world's perched freshwater dune lakes. This combination of sand-dunes, tropical rainforests and lakes makes its 160 000 hectares an exceptional and memorable place to visit.

WOW, what a lovely beach! I want to go there right now. I like the little people down there playing in the water; it gives the photo a nice sense of scale. The clouds and the waves look great. Thanks for the post.

Lovely spot - I'd be keen to leave the smoggy miasma of Melbourne to pay it a visit tomorrow!
Well done - thanks for sharing it

Hello Alaettin - wonderful beach, and the clouds are amazing as often in Oz, the people are visible enough to give scale , yet too distant to be distracting from the scenery.

Hi Al,
Your light management has given you wonderful light and color especially in the layers of waves, the blue green sea and the thunderheads that seem to be dumping on the horizon.

A breathtaking view, Alaettin.
Beautiful colours and a spot on exposure, with good highlight detail in the clouds.
Thanks for the view. You make it look so good that I'd like to be walking along that beach right now!
Yours,
Andrew.
PS. It's often the custom to complain about horizons -- which I'm not doing here. I wonder if in this case it's a natural curvature that would have been visible to the eye, or if it's to do with your lens? Just a thought, because one time someone complained about a horizon in a seascape of mine, so I wnet back to the spot, and guess what? The bay actually looked like that!

Merhaba Alaettin abi.
Bu mekanda çektiği başka bir kareyi kardeş sitede yüklemiştin; o güzeldi fakat bunun daha güzel olduğuna kanaat getirdim abi, çok iyi bir bakış noktası yakalamışsın.
Gökyüzündeki bulutlar ve dalgalar çok hoş görünüyor.
Ellerine, gözlerine ve yüreğine sağlık.
Güzel paylaşımın için teşekkürler, ışığın bol olsun.
Yasin.

Hi Alaettin,
Beautiful beach scenery, and including some people in you gives us the right scale how large it is...very nice.

Good shot, the arch of the clouds which bow around the bay are great. a rough sea also, looks like good surf. TFS

Hi Al!
A typical beach shot, but what I found interesting is not the ususal little bay surrounded by some rocks. TFS!
