THE STORY

The skies above the Mornington Peninsula that summer were a spectacle of azure blue, as I embarked on my creative journey to capture the beauty of this coastal paradise from above. My aerial masterpiece, 'Sorrento Back Beach,' had garnered much acclaim, and I was eager to add more stunning works to my portfolio. The opportunity arose between Christmas and New Year, during a rare spell of scorching 35-degree weather in Melbourne.

It was a well-known fact that when the mercury soared, the people of Melbourne flocked to the beaches, like seagulls to a beachside fish and chips stand. With the city's unpredictable weather, such idyllic beach days were a precious rarity, and I knew I had to seize the moment.

I chartered a small plane, a trusty aerial steed that would carry me on my artistic adventure. As the clock struck 2 PM, I found myself soaring high above the coastline, gazing out at the picturesque landscape unfolding beneath me. The sparkling waters of Port Phillip Bay stretched out before me, and the peninsula's sandy beaches were teeming with sun-worshippers. The scene was a photographer's dream, and I eagerly began to capture the mesmerizing beauty of this sun-kissed stretch of coastline.

The plane followed the curvaceous shoreline, from Mornington to Portsea, affording me a bird's-eye view of the stunning landscapes and vibrant beach scenes below. The beaches were packed with families, surfers catching waves, and sunbathers reclining on the golden sands. The water was so clear that you could see schools of fish darting through the crystalline depths, and the waves rolled gently toward the shore like a soothing lullaby.

As I circled back along the rugged back beaches, which faced the serene waters of Westernport, I couldn't help but marvel at the natural wonders below. Rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and coastal vegetation formed a mesmerizing mosaic. The play of light and shadow on the landscape, the contrast of deep blues and sunlit sands, created a mesmerizing tapestry that begged to be captured.

This day was a rare and magical gift for an aerial photographer. With each click of my camera, I knew I was preserving moments of pure joy, serenity, and natural beauty. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most breathtaking art is created not by human hands, but by nature itself.

As the plane descended and my journey came to an end, I couldn't wait to review the images I had captured, knowing that my aerial portfolio would soon be enriched with the splendour of the Mornington Peninsula on that unforgettable summer day. It was a day that would forever be etched in my memory, a testament to the power of the natural world to inspire and amaze.
