While on holidays in Inverlock, Victoria, Australia. I decided to wake early (5am) and visit the local beach for some photography. Inverloch is a coastline town situated in Victoria, Australia. It is found 143 kilometres southeast of Melbourne by means of the South Gippsland Highway on the Bass Highway in the Bass Coast Shire of Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.   After a while standing in the heavy winds and freezing cold temperatures. These two gentlemen appeared ready for a surf. I later found out, this is a daily routine for these retired gentlemen. Cold nor wind would stop them from their surf. I hope to be as fit and active as I am retired. It's an inspiration to all of any age.   Camera and Lens Canon 5D III and 24-105mm Lens Inverlock at Sunset The following images were taken straight off the camera and converted, to Black and White high key in Photoshop

 This is what winter looks like  from the beautiful alpine region of Victoria, Australia, Mt Buller. The colour photos are taken at the top of Mt Buller. Black and White photos were taken at our Air BnB at the bottom of the mountain. According to the locals they have never seen so much snowfall on the day I took the photos. For some locals, it was the first time they experienced so much snow in the neighbourhood.   More images in video below
