No need for speed

10 March 2013: There wasn’t any need for speed at all again this morning, the most important thing you have to make sure of is that you sponge in as much as you can; especially when there’s a light show like this. I had the best Sunday morning cruise on LBG this morning with Matt and Tim. What more can you ask for, great conditions, brilliant colours and excellent company……thanks guy’s had a great morning.

Down in the East Basin, loving the pre-dawn tones.

Jaw dropper again!

9 March 2013: LBG does it again! Back to back mornings and Lake Burley Griffin has treated us to a spectacular display with another jaw dropping sunrise followed by a balloon spectacular which filled the skies and had everyone going Ooooo…. Ahhhh and Oh YEAH!  Well that’s what I was saying anyway. I hope that you scroll down and enjoy a few selected pics from this morning’s float.

Marble sunset tonight

7 March 2013: I’ve have been watching the sunset build all afternoon and when the time arrived for it to turn on the afternoon light show, it didn’t disappoint. I wasn’t able to get out on the lake this afternoon, so the shots will be ‘Red Chilli’ nose free. Needless to say, dinner was delayed again!

Thursday Morning Cruise

7 March 2013: Crystal clear skies and light winds made for a very relaxing paddle on LBG this morning. I was out there for an early start so I had plenty of time to take in the pre-dawn glow from the East Basin, cruise past the Carillon into the Main Basin to see the soft tones and then I sat back and took in another stunning light show.

Another beautiful start to the day.

Mixed bag of WOW!

6 March 2013: What a WOW of a morning!

What an unbelievable morning on LBG. It had it all, predawn mist floating on  the surface, lights reflecting from our landmarks, silhouettes, golden tones,  pastels to the west and then to finish off I was treated to a balloon bonanza.The odd thing is that this happens more often than not…..The judges have  given ten out of ten this morning for LBG!

Wetlands Zen

24 Feb 2013: There was a brief break from the wind and the rain this morning so I decided to venture up in the Jerrabomberra Wetlands for a bit of Zen. It hard to believe that the wetlands are only five kilometres from the CBD of Canebrra. You would swear that you are miles away from anything!
