17 August 2013: I consider myself one lucky man to be able to witness something so beautiful. This mornings transformation was absolutely sublime, natures colour palate is unmatchable and the pattern configurations that were created by mirrored waters made it such a peaceful way to start the day. I hope that you enjoy the shots.
What a wonderful weekend it has been and I couldn’t have had two totally different mornings. This is why Lake Burley Griffin continues to blow me away, each day it continually serves me up something new. My pocket rocket Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime!
Saturday morning’s tones were sublime.
7 August 2013: It was so nice to be back out on the water and take in a liquid gold sunrise. There was lots of activity on and about the lake this morning as plenty of people were enjoying the calm conditions after the last few turbulent days of weather. There is a cold change forecasted for tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be able to snap shot a few icicles. I hope you enjoy the todays sunrises.
What a wonderful winter it’s been. The thing I love the most about winter is that it produces the most amazing conditions with each morning having its own unique signature. One morning its crystal clear and the Red Chilli is slicing its way through glassy waters. The next morning it’s thick as pea soup and you can’t see five metres in front of you. I hope that you enjoy the variety of shots that comprise my ‘Best of July’ photo journal.
A brilliant transformation, the pastel pinks quickly turned into glossy gold’s.
28-July 2013: Unbelievable! Vivid reds and vibrant oranges lit up the morning skies to produce one of the best sunrises that I have seen for a while. But it didn’t stop there, then the morning transformed into an amazing light spectrum that constantly wowed me for the entire that I was out there. The glassy waters of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra were the perfect accompaniment and at times it felt like I was slicing through the clouds. The photos just don’t do it justice and as note, none of my photo’s are digitally enhanced at all, this makes it even more amazing.

27 July 2013: I was totally immersed in another world this morning. That would have to be one of the most amazing experiences I have had for a while. I just drifted away and allowed myself to escape into Mother Nature’s beauty. I consider myself one lucky person.
I could tell from the very start that it was going to be another stunning morning.
25 July 2013: You know it cold when the water turns to ice on you kayak. It was -6, the waters were mirrored and my morning paddle may have been frosty but it was mind blowing. It’s well worth having frosty fingers when you are treated to scenery like this. Lake Burley Griffin is ever changing and I’m amazed at how it provides me with a new experience each day. I hope you enjoy this morning’s frosty snaps.
Cutting through the icy waters.
15 July 2013:Wow what a marvellous Monday morning out on LBG.
It may have been a grey and overcast Monday morning with the odd drizzle about, but the water was super glassy. It’s been a while since I have seen the entire lake like a sheet of glass. The calm cloudy conditions made for perfect paddling and great photographic conditions, the soft light was brilliant and the mirror reflections keep me out there for a lot longer than I anticipated. How can you leave the water when it’s just so good!
My good mate….’Charlie Honker’…the protector of the lake.
July 2013: It was like pea soup out there this morning with the visibility getting down to a few metres. Lucky I know my way around or you could find yourself going round in circles. You have to have you wits about you when the conditions are like this, as you have to be extremely aware of the sculls. They row 10 deep from the embankment and move with lighting speed. The last thing you want to do is be T-boned by a scud scull that suddenly appears from the fog.
