Description
In the wee hours of dawn, Australia’s Phillip Island is bereft of its inhabitants, both human and penguin. The lavender-tinted landscape creates a moment of zen-like meditation, a proverbial calm before the day’s deluge of tourists. The sea appears deceptively smooth, belying its role in breaking down the rugged rock formations into the boulders populating the foreground. The photographer’s long exposure technique blurs the waves’ relentless motion into a serene blanket that merges seamlessly into the lavender and peach hues of the horizon.
