Australians take great pride in our nation’s many sandy beaches – oft fair in colour, lovely to look at, and a pleasure to walk on.
Metaphorically, we look down our noses at other lands’ generally darker strands, most especially if they are pebbled or rocky.
However, when standing on a pebbly beach, if one literally looks down, chances are that the scene at one’s feet is beautiful.
When looked at, one square metre at a time, it will almost certainly prove much more visually interesting than any square metre of golden or snow-white sand.
This series opens with its oldest photo, taken in July 2010 on a very “high energy” beach on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island.
