14907 Sand, Seagulls, Steel Mill and Sea Mist (J M W Turner, Eat Your Heart Out)

Wollongong City Beach

No, it's not a horrible exposure (though it's arguable that I should have tried to shorten it to try to sharpen the birds flying along the shoreline if nothing else); it's what it was actually like on the beach at that time with the view to the steel works partially obscured by the mist coming off the ocean, creating a very Turneresque effect. (The reflection of the flame in the damp sand on the water's edge being the finishing touch in that respect.)

Addendum: My personal opinion is that Facebook and all other members of the Meta group are disgusting, sociopathic organisations that steal other peoples' intellectual property (including the images in this gallery) despite being explicitly denied permission to do so.

This is really quite a shot...with such a mysterious feel to it. I really like i a great deal.
