Tuesday Delight

Posted on December 17, 2013 by kayakcameraman

17 Dec 2013: The full moon was high in the dawn sky as I cast off for 4.45am, the winds were light, the tones were excellent and yet again the ‘Red Chilli’ was slicing its way through glassy waters. Terrific Tuesday is here and what a beautiful morning it was out there on LGB.The warmer weather has arrived and this was evident as there were plenty people out and about making the most of these gorgeous conditions. It’s shaping up to be an absolute cracker of a day here in CBR, I hope you get the chance to get outside today and enjoy it.

4.53am: Swan and a full moon are a great stating combination.

Fantastic Friday

Posted on December 13, 2013 by kayakcameraman

13 Dec 2013: Pastel strobes beamed through the skies creating a unique natural light show this morning. The tones were sublime and the reflections once again were excellent.
How good is this place! I began with mirrored reflections on the Molonglo River, wowed by pastel beams, paddled through the Kingston Foreshore gauntlet and then finished off with drift into the wetlands. Truly amazing, it was a great way to end the working week.

Balloons + Sunrise = Great Perspective

Posted on December 12, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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!

Mountain Serenity

Posted on December 8, 2013 by kayakcameraman

8 Dec 2013: I just sat on an escarpment with massive 180 degree views and experienced a gorgeous beginning. I had the entire Blue Mountains all to myself. Sunrise serenity is the only way to describe my sunrise experience this morning. I just want to see as many sunrises as possible…for me it’s as simple as that.

Magestic Blue Mountains

Posted on December 7, 2013 by kayakcameraman

7 Dec 2013: This morning we decided to take off to the Blue Mountains for the weekend and what great day its been. The mountain ranges are majestic with its rugged cliff faces and its magnificent views that go for ages. I’m looking forward to experiencing a sunrise tomorrow, walking the giant stair case and strolling amongst the forest floor. It is such a beautiful part of the Australia and the world.

The view just goes for ever.

Gob Smacker of a Sunrise

Posted on December 4, 2013 by kayakcameraman

4 Dec 2013: Today’s sunrise was gob smacking beautiful! I could tell that it was going to be a stunner from the moment I cast off at 4.50am. The morning tones were sublime with the eastern skyline evolving from soft purple pastels to a burst of gorgeous gold. Chances are that if you are out and about in the early hours of the morning you will experience something special.

World of Green

Posted on November 30, 2013 by kayakcameraman

30 Nov 2013: Green was the scene and it set the tone for this morning’s theme, get up early if you are keen. Is it obvious that I have been reading to many Dr Seuss books to my five years old? I had a pleasurable paddle into the wetlands this morning and immersed myself in a world of green and returned back happy as a bean.

I think that I discovered the wetland portal into a world of green.

Optical Feast

Posted on November 21, 2013 by kayakcameraman

21 Nov 2013: What and optical feast the sunrise was this morning. I am continually blown away by the amount of beautiful sunrises and sunsets that Canberra continually produces. Every day has its own unique signature, one day I’ll be floating amongst the mist, the next morning I’ll be treated to gorgeous golden tones with pastels pinks to west. Then to top it all off you are gob smacked with sunrise like the one this morning where at one stage it looked as if liquid lava was floating on the surface.
