7 Feb 2014: What a gorgeous way to end the working week. My morning paddle began with me drifting on beautiful pastel hues which transformed quickly into another lovely sunrise. The near perfect conditions made for an extremely pleasurable way to end the working week. I hope that you enjoy another stunning day here in Canberra and that you have a great weekend.
I love paddling on gorgeous pastel tones
2 Feb 2014: I floated my into Sunday with a concoction of hovering balloons combined with a golden sunrise and served on top of mirrored waters. Thanks Canberra once again you served up my morning order perfectly.
This morning I floated my into Sunday with spectacular scenery.
19 Jan 2014: A gorgeous pink sun slowly rose in a sky that was full of delicate hues. Then right on cue the Questacon balloon began to take off right in front of me, I couldn’t believe my luck and the timing was perfect.
Twin takeoff
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.
12 Dec 2013: I was in total cruise mode on LBG this morning as I paddled my way through the main basin enjoying the great reflections and the beginning of a new day. Initially I had the entire lake to myself but it wasn’t too long before I was saying hello to the ever happy dragonboaters or dodging the flying sculls and to top it all off I finished the morning chasing the Questacon balloon. Now that’s a very cool way to start the day!
In total cruise mode once again
1 September 2013: Golden sunrises, dreamy misty fingers of golden rays, hovering balloons, silhouette swans, crazed reflections and pelicans all made for a delightful start to spring this morning. Spring has started in spectacular style and I can’t wait to see the multitude to colours that Canberra is about to produce. I hope that you enjoy the shots 🙂
So glad you are aboard for the trip 🙂
28 June 2013: Marbled skies and calm conditions made for the perfect end to a busy week. At times I had the entire lake to myself so I just floated away care free and enjoyed the reflections. I hope that you have a great weekend and that you like the shots.
Canberra has certainly been in the political spot light this week.
This morning I have selected a few of my favourite shots (33) that showcase how wonderful the past year has been.Today is quite a significant day for me as it is marks 12 months since the Lake View blog commenced with the Canberra Times. This morning I have selected a few of my favourite shots that showcase how wonderful the past year has been. No two days are the same, and each day provides me with a natural light show that sometimes leaves me gasping in wonder. What I love about photography and paddling is that it provides me with an incredibly calm headspace.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I have enjoyed capturing these moments.
22 June 2013: This morning I had a wonderful experience as I floated high above Canberra with the team from Balloon Aloft. Such amazing sights to take in and definitely a view from a different perspective. We couldn’t have asked for better flying conditions with perfect clear skies, light winds and a crisp minus 5 degrees. The crew and our pilot Richard (such a top bloke) made it an extremely enjoyable experience. They were informative and entertaining which made for good fun. If you haven’t already tried ballooning then make sure you put it on your bucket list and go with Balloon Aloft. I just couldn’t help myself from clicking away as the view was just so beautiful. I hope you enjoy the shots that I have uploaded.
Our chariot awaits
22 May 2013: WOW, this is a huge photo story today. The title for this morning’s paddle on Lake Burley Griffin definitely has to be WWF, the ”Wednesday WOW Factor”. I know that I keep saying it but what a transformation. The colours this morning were wild and I wasn’t the only one out there to enjoy it. The Australian girls junior sculls rowing team went through their paces on a chilly Canberra morning, the RAAF Balloon was hovering high in the sky and I was lucky enough to be paid a visit by the LBG pelicans. I just love starting my day like this!
At this point I know it is going to be a wonderful start to the day
