Sunset Russell island – Sunrise Today…

Prawn Fishing at Sunset

After the Circus I walked back to Redland Bay and took the ferry back to Russell island. To my delight, it was sunset time and I was treated to a beautiful sunset over the water. I noticed small boats fishing and realised they were prawning. Often prawns can be caught sitting on the bottom around weedyContinue reading “Prawn Fishing at Sunset”

I couldn’t get to the water to see the reflections from whereContinue reading “The Last Sunset of May”
