THE STORY BEHIND THIS ARTWORK

The flight over this remote and pristine part of Western Australia had been a long-anticipated journey into the heart of nature's wonders.

As the small plane soared over the turquoise waters of Shark Bay, I gazed out of the window in anticipation. This UNESCO World Heritage site was renowned for its unique and diverse ecosystem, and I was about to witness a phenomenon that few ever had the chance to behold from such an aerial perspective.

Shark Bay's waters were teeming with life, and one of its most remarkable features was the red algae that thrived beneath the surface. These microorganisms, known as stromatolites, gave the bay its distinctive reddish hue and were a testament to the area's ecological significance.

The plane, with its windows designed for photography, allowed me to capture the vibrant beauty of this underwater world. The pilot expertly maneuvered the aircraft to provide the best possible views. Through my camera lens, I watched as the red sands, covered in a mesmerizing lattice of stromatolites, became visible beneath the crystal-clear waters.

The patterns created by these living structures were nothing short of captivating. They resembled intricate mosaics, with swirling designs that seemed to come to life when viewed from above. The rich, red hues contrasted beautifully with the shades of blue that surrounded them, creating a visual masterpiece that was unlike anything I had ever seen.

Photographing this underwater spectacle from the plane was a unique challenge. The changing light and angles as we flew over the bay required precise timing and careful framing. With each click of the shutter, I aimed to capture the essence of this hidden world, a world that was alive and thriving beneath the surface.

As I continued to photograph, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of wonder. Shark Bay's red sands were a testament to the intricate and delicate balance of nature. The stromatolites, which had thrived in this environment for millennia, were living proof of the bay's unique ecological significance.

Leaving Shark Bay behind, I carried with me a profound sense of gratitude. The photographs I had taken from the plane were a celebration of the natural world's hidden treasures, a reminder that even in the most remote and unexpected places, nature's beauty could be found. Shark Bay's red sands beneath the water's surface were a testament to the wonder of the world, and through my photographs, I hoped to share this beauty with others, encouraging them to appreciate and protect the fragile ecosystems that make our planet so remarkable.

WHICH FINISH?

Great question! Here's what we recommend...

CANVAS - On trend (we sell heaps) and great for most homes with lots of windows. Soaks up the reflection.
ACRYLIC - On trend with its frameless look. Suits modern homes with big white walls. Highly reflective though.
METAL - The shinny version of canvas. It's framed the same way but instead is very shinny and flat.
FRAMED - Traditional look however we don't sell many framed prints these days.
ROLLED - Perfect if you have your own framer however, remember framing is expensive!
