In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.

Lovely colours. Those brief moments give you a connection to nature that you can feel physically.
Fleeting, but can stay with you a lifetime.

Nah, it works. The site can sometimes have bandwidth issues, almost always resolves.

Thanks for all the compliments on photo but that particular one wasn’t mine , one of the guys took it with his iPhone and we have been trying to work out what his settings were , the colours did look like that at the time however.

It’s the same in the Philippines, they seem to have much more pink and purple in their sunsets,
I remember flying above one, looking down on on it over there somewhere?

Fliplid hi mate. I almost choked laughing, I’m a computer dinosaur, I just snap with my iPhone and hope for the best. But thanks for the encouragement, I like things simple because I am simple.
Not a fan of photoshopped stuff, personal opinion obviously, a la natural for me. AW

I'm the same AW, I tried to put up photos a couple of times but they never stuck so I don't bother with them anymore. By the way I was being a bit tongue in cheek with the suggestion, the thought of you sitting in a classroom surrounded by doddery old pensioners didn't seem quite right

I realised that , you’re always a good fun lad, we can’t take ourselves too seriously, unlike Gs-co.

How’s that laser beam zapping of the canine in Supafreaks photo. Kapow. Doggone !!! . AW

Not my photos, but I just saw them on FB and they brought back memories of a great period in time.

All pics of the same porcelain throne sitting atop Shark Island.

Plus some backstory!

"About 1997 it was installed (FOC) from a terrace house renovation behind St Vincent’s hospital.

"The front base had a beautiful shaped front similar to a ship so it pierced very well through swells and this was carefully angled in a south-east direction to be able to cop the full brunt of a south-east swell.

"The barnacle encrusted surface acted as grip for the rapid set cement (40kg) and was set fairly level as well on the highest rock - not many surfers ever washed over this rock so consideration from a risk perspective that this was the safest location to avoid legrope tangles or incidents.

"When a wave washed in, it flushed automatically so was always clean. I looked in it once and a crab was living in the S bend."

That's awesome, like a tripped-out 70's airbrushed fantasy.
I'd like to use it as my screensaver if you don't mind Supa.

Sure , it really is a trippy photo , just needs a couple of bats flying around.

Spent many a day there as a 16 yo once I got my drivers license , some days I would be on one break & my mate on the other , waiting up to 30 minutes in between 1 ft sets , such a beautiful shaped wave . Never had it bigger than 4 ft and most memorable session was a midnight surf on clearlite acid , purple tubes on a full moon .
