Chelsea Pier, Port Phillip Bay

Chelsea Pier

Chelsea Pier, Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia

I took the picture on Christmas Day, 2002. I don't know if the pier is officially known as Chelsea Pier, but it is close to Chelsea - a couple of hundred metres or so along the beach.

Beautiful though the pier is, the posts are made of plastic, and the local Council has now spoilt it with a "No Diving" sign at the very end.

    Nice pic! I am from Frankston and was just wondering what camera were you using for the pic and what specs did you set it to. If you can't remember or you didn't write them down, all good.

    Thanks for the comment. I took the picture with a 3.2 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot digital camera I bought in 2002 from Peninsula Cameras in Frankston. The settings would have been on auto. It's a great little camera - the batteries last for ages - but I've now replaced it with a 6 megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-S600.

    I have a book of Peintures Haitiennes which was published with the assistance of Andre Wauters Gallery in the Seventies. This is why I contact you. I am interested in selling a painting by Wilson Bigaud who features in the book.

    I would appreciate if you could tell me whom I should approach in this matter.

    With kind regards,

    Hans Steffen

    I design for fun but don't have the skills you do. I really like your design style. It's very fresh and clean.

    Chris, thanks for that. I completely changed the design to this one six months ago, and am trying to resist the temptation to change it again as it would probably be a real timewaster. Positive feedback always helps!

    He probably lives there. Many people who live there don't seem to think of it as anything very special. There are more pictures of Port Phillip Bay here »
