Busselton Days Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken at the very end of the jetty in Busselton, 4 hours drive south of Perth.

"Busselton is home to the longest wooden jetty (pier) in the southern hemisphere, stretching almost 2 km out to sea. Because the shallow waters of Geographe Bay restricted ship movement, a long jetty was required so that the cut timber could be transported to the ships. In 1839 Governor Hutt appointed "the place in Geographe Bay opposite the Settlement at The Vasse to be the legal place for the loading and unloading of goods", the jetty commenced construction in 1853 after persistent pressure by settlers. In 1865 the first section of the jetty became available for ships to moor. In 1875 an additional 131 metres was added to the original structure, over 10 years drift sands had made the depth of the water to shallow for mooring. The jetty was continually extended until the 1960s when it reached it's current length of 1841 metres.

The jetty also features a rail line along its length, which operated commercially as part of the railway line into Busselton from Bunbury."

Hi Brendan
I like the strong colours and the composition with the sign on the left, the bank of clouds which separate the 2 blues of the sea and sky and the isolated cloud which adds interest.
Regards Nikki

Like a poster. An interesting concept for sure. I was expecting that background to be a poster actually but Im positively surprised that its not.

Hi Brendan - this place doesn't appear on this site as often as Paris, this is a good advertisement for it, the strong colours and distinct geometry combine to make a memorable photo.

What make the photo is the graphical effect from the red and the blue color from which the yellow writing stands out. Brillaint shot Brendan!
Thanks, Alain -

Hi Brendan,
Sumptuous colours and enough primary colours to fill a child's paint box.
Great composition - I love this one and really don't know how I haven't noticed it before!
Cheers
Brian
