3 OCT 2013: Sheer beauty and elegance would be the best way to describe this morning’s sunrise. It was such a subtle transformation with the predawn orange tones changing to pastel pinks, then finishing off with a striking sun burning in the horizons haze. I hope you enjoy the shots from Bonville creek, Sawtell.
4.48am and I’m greeted with orange tones to the east as I rounded the corner.
2 OCT 2013: This morning I was chasing another stunning sunrise, but instead I was treated to a morning of mirrored reflections on Boambee Creek, Sawtell.
4.43am and I’m in search / hope that I would witness another stunner sunrise this morning.
1 Oct 2013: Unbelievably beautiful, stunning, magical, brilliant, perfect, magnificent and as many other describing words that I could use to caption this mornings sunrise here at Coffs Harbour. We are up here for the week to watch my middle boy Finn play in the National soccer tournament (he is a goal keeper) and thanks to him I have been able to witness this a truly spectacular sunrise. I was absolutely gob smacked; I hope you like the shots as much as I enjoyed capturing / experiencing them.
I was on the water for 4.45am and I was being treated to a magnificent sunrise already.
27 Sept 2013: There is no better way to see the working week out than by slicing your way through glassy waters. Today is shaping up to be an absolute cracker here the capital, so I hope that you get the chance to get outside an enjoy, especially after yesterdays tumultuous conditions.
Super calm conditions made for a very cruisy start.
26 Sept 2013: True magic is the only way to describe my paddle on LBG this morning. I can rant and rave about how beautiful it was or how I drifted on a massive sheet of glass that was the entire main basin and experienced a truly stunning sunrise. I had the water to myself for ages and the mirror reflections were glorious and many times throughout my two hour paddle it felt like I was floating on the clouds. Anyway enough of the chatter, I’ll let the photos tell the story. I hope that you enjoy the shots.
Wow is the word of the morning
22 Sept 2013: I’m not going to rant and rave how stunning it was or how the water soooooo perfect that you couldn’t tell which way was really up and how the morning transformation took me on a visual journey that was so soothing. I’ll let the photostory do exactly that.
5.23am: Even when I arrived it had all the making of a great morning
21 Sept 2013: I was definitely in cruise mode this morning with pastel pinks to the west and golden tones east. It’s nice to have smooth conditions again after a fortnight of turbulent weather.
Yeeeeehaaaaaa the weekend is here.
15 Sept 2013: I sliced my way through super glassy waters for a massive 4 hour session this morning. It was so nice to glide my way into the wetlands for a very relaxed start to the day. After returning back to the east basin I decided to paddle my down through the main basin to Spring bank Island as the conditions were so smooth. Yet again there wasn’t any need for speed at all, especially on a Sunday.
5.39am: Seeing double this morning as the water was so glassy
9 September 2013: I love the misty morning starts. The light winds created mirrored waters and the misty conditions created a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The beauty about the foggy starts is that it usually burns off to reveal a stunning day. I hope you get the chance to get outside and enjoy a great spring day.
5 September 2013: It’s the most amazing feeling when you experience a sunrise like this. Words just can’t convey it, but hopefully the photos can; what an absolute stunner of a morning. The morning began with predawn tiger stripes forming on the horizon and very quickly gorgeous pastel colours lit up the morning skies and it felt like I was paddling on pink and lilac clouds.By 6.18am I was witnessing another brilliant sunrise out here on LBG and for me that’s what it is all about. Seeing the beginning of a new day always puts a giant smile on my dial. I hope you enjoy the shots as much as I have enjoyed taking them.
