A rather "extrovert" boat shed at Blairgowrie.


So many boat sheds
So many seaside colours
But I am unique

Split Personality?

The side of a boat shed at Blairgowrie created a colourful palette for a split gathering of shadows!


Shadows divided
As if light peeled them apart
And gave them journeys

Strolling Winter Sands

Even in winter, walking the sands of a peninsula beach is quite a common sight.
This is Blairgowrie beach and the weather was unexpectedly warmish and even sunny for awhile!

Boatsheds at Blairgowrie

Boatsheds on the Mornington Peninsula are often creatively coloured.
(Some - especially at St Kilda and Brighton, north of the peninsula but still on Port Phillip Bay - used to be bathing boxes in the early 20th century!)
Here is a selection at Blairgowrie on the southern end of the peninsula

Bright sailing colours
Strong peninsula landmarks
Cute happy features

Hog's Breath

These boats rested at Blairgowrie Yacht Club on the southern end of the peninsula.
I am always intrigued by some of the quirky names of boats.
Perhaps this particular boat really connected with another yacht club in Queensland, Australia's north eastern state.
Hog's Breath is the name of a cafe chain throughout Australia that has invented the word hogspitality
So the boat name becomes an advertisement for a cafe chain!
One way to create a sign!!

Large spunky lady
Waiting for grand new journeys
Named with attitude
