To the Island

I took a photo one day of Barlings Island, near Batemans Bay, while the rocks that approach the island appeared to be floating in the reflection of clouds. They are a soft orange sandstone, or mudstone . You can swim out to the island but landing is a little tricky. I loved the vivid colours and contrasts, and the mostly white sky reflected in the swirling water.
