[Photos] Esperance pt III

[moonvoice]

Including photos of Hellfire Bay and other beaches, as well as a few other bits and pieces. There's more Esperance to come. I really loved this place. The beaches are like nothing else I've seen before, and I'm a Perthian and spoiled for beaches. It was somewhat bemusing to drive to Denmark and then find their beaches so very lacklustre by comparison. I know people talk about how awesome Denmark is, but when you've come from Esperance, it certainly puts things into perspective (though Denmark did have a very nice bookstore).


Hellfire Bay - it was even prettier and brighter in person.






Frenchman's Peak







So blue



I mean...



One of the things I loved about Hellfire Bay specifically was that every shell washed up to shore, that I checked, still had its little mollusc inside of it:



Even this one:







This mussel still had the mussel inside of it.



Coral





Powdery sand. It was very wet because of the weather. It must get into everything when it's dry.

Oh man, I wish I could somehow bring it closer to Perth so it wasn't all so far away. :)

Oh my god. Hellfire Bay = love.

Yeah, I kind of wish we'd visited Hellfire Bay last so I could've spent more time there. It was amazing. :)

My goodness that is gorgeous! I also like the glimpse of the sea life.

It was pretty amazing seeing everything that had washed up on the beach. It's also the first time I've seen so many molluscs still in their shells. Usually they're empty. So I think a storm must have gone by and stirred things up a lot more than usual.
