Wollongong

This is an early morning image looking north from the Wollongong lighthouse. The light was great bust the cloud weren’t playing along so it’s was time to get creative. This is a great spot to walk with your camera. There’s so much to see. From exercising locals to the great waves and even the areas of heavy industry to the south.
