15 Jan 2014: What a stunner! I’m speechless, that was excellent, brilliant, fantastic, gorgeous…someone get me a thesaurus please. I hope that you enjoy the shots as I know I’ll be floating for the rest of the day…WOW, now that was a sunrise!
5.44am: You can already see the brilliance building.
14 Jan 2014: The sunrise this morning was like a giant yoke splitting open and flooding light. The last few days the sunrises and sunsets have be absolutely stunning and this morning was no exception. I hope that you enjoy the shots and have a great day.
5.20am: I have been on the water for 20 minutes now and its been a beautiful start already.
11 Jan 2014: I drifted and floated my way into the world of Canberra Zen this morning on Lake Burley Griffin. Quickly you become immersed in gorgeous golden tones to east and soft mauve pastel to the west. It doesn’t get any better than this, I hope that you enjoy the shots.
The morning of Zen started with gorgeous pastel tones
10 Jan 2014: I have be treated to a magnificent magma sunrise this morning after returning home from our annual camping holiday on the mid north coast. I thoroughly enjoyed my warm welcome home and I can’t wait to see what 2014 will bring. I hope that you enjoy the shots and have a great day.
What a welcoming
4 Jan 2013: Plenty of people were surfing golden rays to begin their day as the surf was rapping around the point at Crescent Head this morning. It began with early pastel tones and very quickly transformed into a magnificent golden display. What a beautiful way to star the day!
Surfing a golden sunrise
2014 started with pastel pinks illuminating the horizon and continued on with soft subtle tones. It was wonderful transition that finished off with the golden rays bursting out from behind the clouds to ignite a new year. Have a great day enjoying the start of 2014 with your family and friends. 2014 is going to be a great year!
Pastel pink beginning
31 Dec 2013: Serenity and simplicity would describe Mother Natures final day to 2013. The golden tones and the crashing tunes of the ocean were a brilliant combo to farewell the year. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey so far. I look forward to sharing more photos with you in 2014 and wish you all a safe and happy new year.

Love the feel of sand between my toes
30 Dec 2013: Soft pastel tones preceded the light of day with the sound of waves crashing onto the shore line. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on Shelley Beach, Crescent Head this morning watching yet another day unfold.

5.18am. I’m looking forward to seeing how it will unfold
I thought it only fitting to compile a 100 shots as a tribute to the Centenary of Canberra. I’ve had a fantastic year being mesmerised by so many gorgeous sunrises and I am continually amazed at how LBG constantly treats me to a wonderful natural lightshow each and every paddling session. Canberra should be known as the ‘Sunrise Capital of Australia’. The four seasons have been superb. One minute you are paddling through pea soup fog, the next you’re being wowed by amazing pastels tones, or being dazzled by brilliant golden hues, the variety is extensive. I found it extremely hard to select the final 100 as I have snapped over 30,000 photos this year. That would have to be a life time of sunrises in one year- how lucky I am!
I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I hope that you have an enjoyable holiday break.
Thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing and hearing from you all in the new year.
20 Dec 2013: Super Dooper Mega Wow! What a fantastic farewell to the week and for many, the working year as Mother Nature turned on a stunning display again this morning. I’m heading off today for a few weeks in search of rivers, estuaries, point breaks and the golden sands of the mid north coast. Keep an eye out as I’ll be loading a tribute to 2013 next week.
All the signs were there that it was going to be another stunner.
