Golden Sunset Over Port Phillip Bay

Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, the summer sun easing toward the horizon and the sky going soft amber.

The light flattens out across the water and seabirds carry through it in dark, soft silhouettes — a few small shapes turning low above the bay. Warm amber holds the upper frame and the water below catches the same colour back, the whole scene tipped toward gold. A long low horizon, a quiet evening on a working coastline, the city's bay at its calmest hour.

What the photograph holds is the daily turn that Melbourne's western edge keeps to itself — sun, water, birds, no hurry.

The palette is warm and coastal — amber, soft gold, the deeper blue of evening water. Sympathetic to oak, linen, cane and brass with a coastal lean — limewash plaster and pale timbers also work. Settles well into a living room facing west, a bedroom that wants softness at end of day, a hallway, a study that needs a window where it doesn't have one.

Printed and framed in a thin gallery profile, matte finish, ready to hang. We tend toward dark wood — never the loudest thing in the photograph — but four frame finishes are offered. Made-to-order · Free Australia-wide shipping · — Two Fat Bunnies.
