Floriade Nightfest 2014*

Posted on September 24, 2014 by kayakcameraman

*Tonight I, along with other members of Human Brochure and the media, was treated to a preview of Floriade’s Nightfest, which begins tomorrow (Wednesday) night and runs until Sunday, 28 September.

It’s hard to put the experience into words – and the photos don’t really do it justice. Here goes:

For those who are wondering – yep, the tulips are out!

We’re first greeted with seas of tulips bathed in changing colours. It’s hard to tell what colour they actually are!

I said sea, right? I meant it.

The flowers are stunning, but Nightfest wouldn’t be Nightfest without doing something pretty damn special. And that’s this.

It’s Alice in Wonderland-esque. Stunning flowers light up in time to the music as we walk through thick fog – genuinely mesmerising. Each enormous flower is slightly different, and the colour show is so varied – after standing there 15 minutes I can’t…

Daily Discovery

Posted on September 24, 2014 by kayakcameraman

24 Sept 2014: Everyday I’m treated to a new discovery. This morning I was drenched in golden mist as I leisurely paddled my way on the Molonglo River. Spring has been truly sensational so far and I am loving every minute of it. I hope you get the chance to enjoy a gorgeous morning in Canberra before the predicted change arrives later in the day.

Soothing Sunset

20 Sept 2014: I was bathed in soft subtle light on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra this afternoon. It began with beautiful blues swirling on the waters surface while the sun shone through the clouds creating an amazing atmosphere. Soon I was being treated to gorgeous golden reflections that lit up the sky and then ‘Mother Nature’ saved the best for last by ending a fantastic spring day with soothing hues.

Friday Treat

Posted on September 12, 2014 by kayakcameraman

12 Sept 2014: Even on a dull and overcast morning there’s never a dull moment on Lake Burley Griffin. We had balloons hovering high in the sky and even at one stage the RAAF balloon was basket dragging on the water’s surface through the middle of the main basin. Then the ever happy dragon boaters came tearing past me (as usual) adding a huge splash of colour to a grey morning. It was a great way to end the working week

9 Sept 2014: I was treated to a wonderful light show this morning in Canberra. The clouds acted as a natural filter softening the sunlight which cast gorgeous pastel tones to light up the sky.

Posted on September 1, 2014 by kayakcameraman

1 Sept 2014: Spring has started in sensational style and what a magic morning to be out on Lake Burley Griffin. Spring is always a spectacular season and it won’t be too long before Canberra is in full colour. I can’t wait!

Robin Williams quote sums it up perfectly “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!”

Farewell to Winter

Posted on August 31, 2014 by kayakcameraman

31 Aug 2014: There was a chill in the air, the landscape was shroud with mist and I was slicing my through glassy waters once again on Lake Burley Griffin. It was a beautiful farewell to winter and it didn’t take too long for the mist to burn off to reveal the beginning of a beautiful day in Canberra. Winter has provided me with many wonderful moments, but I’m really looking forward to the warmth and colour that spring will bring.
