Rather than actually seeing this scene, Watson created his 'dreamscape', bringing together his favourite imagery - 'to stop us in our tracks, and catch our collective breath and admire with intrigue'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLouie Larrinaga, a close friend, photographer and model of Watson's, is engaged with his photography, capturing images beyond our view - a reminder of further visual excitement and beauty continuing along Noosa beach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA television camera crowns a temporary tower, an indication of the considerable interest in the soon to begin Noosa Surf Ironman Series competition. A safety flag flutters in the sea breeze before a flock of native white cockatoos which form a visual diagonal line with an abseiler, Michael Witteveen, who Watson encountered on his hotel balcony early one morning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn preparation for the Surf Ironman Series, a triathlete lifts his surf ski at the ocean's edge.
