Final Approach | Coolangatta

Posted: 03/04/11

As the twilight has its brief interlude, the street lights of Currumbin begin to flicker into life. The swimmers have left the beach and there are just a few remaining people playing ball games on the sand as a domestic airliner passes overhead on its final approach into Coolangatta Airport.

I added some fog and grain in the processing of this image.

The tyre marks on the sand were produced by a four wheel drive lifeguard vehicle.

This has quite an ominous feeling to me. The circled lines in the foreground coupled with the descending airplane make this very mysterious. A very provocative image!

Our airpot is also very close to major beach. When a plane posing over there, it felt just above my head and almost able to touch.
