Whaling Wharf, Moreton Island

For 10 years between 1952 and 1962, commercial whaling in Moreton

bay near Brisbane eliminated thousands of hump back whales and 1

blue whale. It only stopped because the yeild dropped, not because

of government regulations. They have another grim reminder on the

island; a harpoon which is a massive piece of barbed steel, and the

particular one they had on show was severely bent from the impact.

Makes you feel sick. The old decaying wharf still makes a nice

subject though..... all comments welcomed

Great tones, wonderful subject. The long shutter speed adds to the surrealism. I like it!

Remarkable and outstanding!!!!

A very special image Michael. Wonderful in every way. Nice balance, lovely pastel color and a format that you know I love!

Excellent composition!! Compliments

if black and white

I wonder too how this one would look in B+W. Well done

Excellent shot. Superb colours. The Sea.

Beautiful...peaceful...like gravestones for the whales. The composition is right on, with the piles so well placed. I do find the frame too heavy on the bottom, as though it's a barrier keeping me from stepping into the scene.

Lovely delicate colors on this one. The perfect time to be shooting. Great comp.

Love the tranquility in this shot. Fantastic colours and crop.. the kinda shot I wish I'd taken actually :)

Just beautiful.
