Pantai Ayer Manis (Sweetwater Beach) south of Padang, has this unusual stone sculpture of a seafaring harbour, carved into the rocky headland.

There is a thunderstorm brewing on the horizon in the hot, humid, tropical weather.

Hi Chris,

Unusual arwork indeed ... very nice POV and moody photo.


tfs,
vlad

Excellent POV Chris. The clarity of all aspects in the photo is impressive, and the contrast between the water and the rock is very effective.

Hi Chris,

Very nice photo!
The sun light gives wonderful texture and sharp details of the stones. I like your POV; you are almost at the same lavel with the rocks/stones!
Well done and TFS :)

Hi Chris,
Very interesting artwork, and you capture it very well with an excellent POV & sharpness and superb colors. Very well done.

Fake dock. Very interesting idea. Much better than carving "I LOVE FRED" into the rocks. (Which I don't, by the way).
Nice spot, with an interesting detail about it and nuts to the storm, as I have my plastic mac handy.
Full of eye-appeal, CJ. I want to be there, so that's proof.

Hi Chris!

Great POV and interesting artwork. I like the rope carving especially. Another great nature scene in the background.

Excellent shot Chris, I like the POV very much. It is very unique sculpture all right. Nice composition and contrast. :) Thanks for sharing

Hello Chris!
What a nice sculpture. It has the perfect environment to be exposed! Great light and composition.
Another great place to visit it looks like !The low POV is just perfect to enjoy both the sculpture and the sea.
Cheers!

Indahnya Sekali... Very nice sculpture Chris! Did you have Polarizing filter for this shot? The light condition from the sky till the reflection of the rock surface is perfectly balance. Bagus sekali! Saya betul-betul menikmati keindahannya.

Greetings,
