More from the archives of my little holiday in December...
Another favourite aspect of the Morninton Peninsula area (where I grew up) is the bathing boxes. See those small colourful buildings beyond the boat masts?
Note also the sky in the photo above. I think the cloud formation is rather stunning... and the orangy pink sky in the distance.
This was the same night as my Mt Martha sunset shots
Here is a closer look at these lovely little pieces of (expensive) real estate. These colourful buildings are privately owned and were built for the purpose of changing into swimwear and storing beach items.
Some are painted in relatively subdued colours and others very bright .
Some have doors basically opening onto the sand and others include balconies and more storage underneath.
Happy Friday & have a wonderful weekend!!

bathing boxes = really cool! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comments!
how very interesting - and quaint!
They are funny looking boxes! Each one is just slightly different from its neighbour - and yet they all have the same style of door.
The sky shot is fantastic. Happy sky watching.

I definitely think they are pieces of art - so charming!
I'm wondering just how expensive these little boxes are. :)
Love the beach cabin colours. It has something special.

These are all fantastic shots mum; you have captured the scenery perfectly. When I look at the photos I can actually feel the atmosphere; as if I jump into the photo and am present in Melbourne. You have a gift to take the viewer on a journey just by looking at the photo. So, it only fits to say that a picture paints a thousand words - in this case, a photograph
Beautiful!!!
...as cute as can be!
Gorgeous Liz. I've not seen any bathing boxes in Australia. They are quite amazing. Love the sky in these photos too.
They are just amazing little bathing boxes, love the colors and your shots.
Those are awesome! What a cool concept to! Obviously I don't live near a beach.
wow, some where to visit one day soon. lovely & quaint. thank you for sharing with friday fences. (:
Oh, what cool things you can do when you have lots of money. These bathing houses are so bright and festive looking. I bet everyone has a grand old time when it really is swimming season. Liked all of your photos. They really did help giving someone who knew nothing of bathing houses a better understanding. genie
Wonderful beach huts, I love these colorful shots.
This post was so original--don't know that we have beach houselets in that number in the U.S. Great idea if you can afford it, making coming to the beach less hassle. And you're right, taken together they're an artform. I'm off to admire your other sky shots now.
