It’s actually in suburbia on the foreshore in Rossmoyne Perth Western Australia. Not too far away from where we live.. honestly I didn’t even feel like I was in Perth. It looked so sublime. I felt like I was transported to another part of the world. I did add a lot of toning to this image though because it was very foggy, but when the fog lifted then it was just a blissful mist.

When I arrived home, I was on cloud nine. I was pretty sure I'd captured some beautiful images, but honestly, it wasn't just about the photos.

There was something so special about being out there, surrounded by all that beauty. The calm water, and the peaceful stillness made everything feel almost dreamlike. For a little while, it was like the rest of the world disappeared. I’m sure many of you have had the same feeling, nature does this to you.
