[Photo walk] St Kilda Harbour Dog Beach
I managed to take a few good photos at St Kilda Harbour Dog Beach after Melbourne Pride March.
Cruise ships at Station Pier and the West Gate Bridge
This was taken with a long zoom lens, and zoom lenses tend to compress things that are further away. That’s why the cruise ships at Station Pier and the West Gate Bridge look much closer to each other than they really are.

Curious dog at the beach

Keeping an eye on its humans

Let's explore the beach

No, I don't want to get out of the water
This was my favourite dog on the beach that day. So much energy! And, as seen here, a steadfast refusal to come out of the water when it was time to stop playing and go home — despite the repeated calls of its owner.

Small dog on a big beach
Photo of a brown-and-white dog standing in the water near a sand bank on a dog beach. Two sail boats are anchored on the other side of the sand bank. And far across the beach, behind all this, is a large pier with two massive cruise ships docked to it.
Exploring the rocks on St Kilda Harbour Dog Beach
Photo of a figure in blue jeans, dark green/brown jacket, and a pointy black woolen cap exploring some rocks along a beach. In the background you can see a long pier (St Kilda Pier) extending into the water. Several boats of different sizes are anchored in and around this pier.
