Should have taken a shot, as not only was the Home & Away crew filming, but on the Pittwater side we had a big McDonalds production happening as well for their summer commercials.
Walking along the beach to the start of the track up to the joeyA little while later, first look at burnt vegetation lots of green shoots already coming up again, fire ravaged through here about 6 weeks ago, so yeah, amazing how quickly life starts again Looking more like coal than sandstone the higher we go the blacker the bush yep, really burnt now great view from up here of Palm Beach The only way some of these plants reproduce is from the intense heat of the fire, it cracks the seed pods Land marker burnt down looking across broken bay to the central coast this bush track has not had this much direct sunlight on it for a while Bush Sculptures Looking East, edge of the Joey My parents through the burnt trees love this shot starting up again get a camera 🙂 more bush sculptures woauw, more seeds coming out walking back to the lighthouse Just love this shot, have to show it again, one of the black boys that really survived the firemore sculptures looking down to Pittwater from the Smugglers Track all coming back to life Little triptych I made of the Headland ( click on image for larger view )
A Burnt down Barrenjoey Headland at Palm Beach
After landing at Sydney Airport it is express trip back home to see the kids before they go to school and spend the day with my folks. They flew out form Spain for 2 weeks, but then In the middle of it, I had to fly to Paris for the Castelbajac shoot. So will spend the whole day with them, and have been wanting to come up to the headland ever since I heard about the bushfire.
