Rising. Falling.
Pounding against the reef.
Colored by summer sun and sky. ~Ally.
Magical Moments: Looking down from the Bondi clifftop.
The clifftop pathway between Bondi Beach and Tamarama Bay is only about one kilometre. Which may be a short distance, but a morning, evening or an entire day spent there: Looking out upon the vast Pacific Ocean and down to the reefs below: Breathing in the fresh salt air and the rugged beauty of it all: Will be a time where body, mind, heart and spirit come alive and so many magical moments can be felt.
The color of the ocean is constantly changing according to the time of day: The light and brightness of color in the sky.
I love those soft silvery oceans in overcast weather, but the intensity of the deep indigo and ultra marine blue on a hot summer's day ~ Is pure magic.

Mainland reefs.
Waves crash and roll over the reef ~ Leaving mini waterfalls, cascading over the reef as the water recedes.

About my work.
I love being in the natural bushland of Australia and especially overlooking, or by the ocean.
Sometimes a song or quote or other ideas/thoughts/words come to me, when I look at the photographs I've take. Giving form to a short 'poem' to accompany the image.
In my studio I construct small assemblages or arrangements from flowers, weeds and plants combined with other natural materials that I find in the bushland or surrounding urban streets.
A fuller description of this work is in my introductory article: The Heart of Immortality
Steemit Communities that I feel a growing affinity with:
You See ~ I See: @marillaanne.
Beautiful Day: @barbara-orenya.
Collaborative Art Journey: @everlove.
MonoMad Photographic Contest: @monomad
As well as my own: Magical Moments: @allyinspirit.
Magical Moments:
Magical Moments is not a 'challenge' ~ My vision is that it will become more a 'Curated Gallery' where selected contributions will be Upvoted and Resteemed and in time awarded ~ In some as yet unknown way.
If you wish to participate: Post an image or set of images and/or words that have the power to transport your audience to the special space (outer and/or inner) that you were in, when you experienced that 'Magical Moment' ~ Simply use #magicalmoments as one of your five tags.
Beautiful ocean. Leaping for joy when passers-by receive her beauty and feel so many magical moments @allyinspirit. Resteemed.
