Resting Season

Poised at the edge of a red-dirt road and overlooking the dramatic cliffs of Cape Alright, this bright yellow fishing boat stands ready—but at rest. Hauled ashore for the off-season, it waits patiently for the return of warmer waters and another round of sea-bound labour. The vivid hull contrasts beautifully with the windswept grasses and cool coastal tones, evoking the rhythm of seasonal life in a maritime community. Framed by rugged cliffs and a gentle bay, the image captures a quiet interlude in a working boat’s cycle, blending resilience with calm expectancy.
