Tollgate Islands

Captain Cook named the Tollgate Islands when he mapped Australia's east coast in 1770. This is the view from my local beach, where they do indeed look like the gateway to a wider world. I thought this an appropriate image for World Photography Day 2023. It also places empasis on the oceans - now warming alarmingly worldwide. We, as photographers, can assist by recording changes to our global environment.

The PiP shows my first camera, a Model 2A Box Brownie of about 1932 - it was very much a family "hand-me-down" when it passed to me. With it is my first SLR, a Minolta SR1 of 1964.
