The Pass - Byron Bay

Posted by: Sean

Tagged in: Untagged 

I was lucky to be able to capture footage of 'The Pass' one evening when there was only a few people and the most committed surfers catching waves that rolled into the evening sunset. Looking through the eye of the video camera I was transported by the constantly changing light and ambience of this place.  Nothing was still , so much movement and rhythm all rolling into each other. A seagull dancing on the pristine sand, dolphins playing in the golden light, surfers of all ages and experiences waiting for that perfect wave as evening falls. One guy was especially good on his ocean kayak catching waves that seem to roll on forever.

The viewing platform is called 'Fisherman's Lookout' and is loved by locals and visitors alike for its sweeping views of the bay, its rustic rock structure, and unusual bushes and trees whose branches stretch out to the sky creating a unique visual element. Visiting "The Pass" is a always a uplifting  and rewarding experience.

Beautiful images of the pass...

Just watched the video you two creative beings have birthed!
Such beauty and simplicity in the images and such a haunting piece of music too!
I got my first surfboard this year and The Pass is where i learn to master the craft of ocean dreaming and riding those waves.
It is such a blissful and spiritual place and you have captured the essence of this place,
thankyou so much,
big love,

Transported me there for a few glorious minutes....
a gorgeous soothing of the senses....
I remember when those trees were a real landmark with their distinctive foliage twenty years ago, now they stand like custodial elders, observing all that ever changing natural beauty and signs of life......very special.....
