21 June 2014: It was a mystical paddle on Lake Burley Griffin this morning as the fog rolled in from the east basin continually changing the scenery. The water was super glassy and the sun was trying its best to burn through to lighten up the day. Just when it seemed that the blanket of fog was about lift, in rolled another wave. This made for a wonderful winter’s paddle.
7.06am: The fog seemed to be clearing
19 June 2014: The air was so saturated with moisture that it felt like I was cocooned by damp heavy blanket. The conditions were super calm, the water was glassy and the reduced visibility added another dimension to the morning. I hope you enjoy the photostory.
“A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.” This quote by Eric Sloane sums up autumn in Canberra perfectly as it has been absolutely stunning this year. So beautiful, I decided to put a compilation of my favourite autumn experiences. I have been treated to many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and even bedazzled by hot air balloons drifting on LBG during the balloon festival. Canberra has been amass with a wonderful spectrum of colours as we have transitioned from summer into winter. I hope that you enjoy my photostory of autumn.
31 May 2014: This morning it felt like I was paddling in a scene from the ‘Lord of the Rings’. Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding landscape were engulfed in fog that created a feeling of mystique.
Jump on board as we travel into another world
15 May 2014: It’s was as if I were teleported to another place. I love my misty morning paddles and the atmosphere that it creates. This morning the sky was clear, the conditions were smooth and soft tones were radiating. Then just on sunrise the fog and mist slowly crept in to create a totally different mood out on the water. This is why I enjoy paddling on Lake Burley Griffin as the transformation took place within 30 minutes to produce some spectacular scenery. I hope that you enjoy the photostory of my misty morning paddle.
9 May 2014: WOW…. What a morning! There’s nothing better than drifting your way into a gorgeous pastel sunrise while floating amongst pink mist, it’s truly such a beautiful experience. The conditions were near perfect, the colours were superb and the morning transformation was yet again brilliant. I hope that you enjoy the photostory of my paddle on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra this morning. Have a great day!
The early morning colours were fantastic .
6 May 2014:I love how the mist turns gold just as the sun pops. The light was so soft, mist was hovering all around and the water was like a sheet of glass. Now that is definitely a beautiful recipe, I love my misty morning paddles on LBG and this morning didn’t disappoint. It’s shaping up to be gorgeous autumn day in Canberra and I hope that it is an enjoyable one for you.
It was a beautiful morning to be out on the water
18 April 2014: It felt like a hand was going to reach out from the depths and grab me.
18 April 2014: LBG definitely had an alpine feel about it this morning with mist hovering in the valleys and the surrounding mountains. At 5.45am the sky was clear and I was being treated to some very soft morning tones. The scenery changed dramatically when the fog rolled in from the East Basin blanketing the entire lake and creating a mystical scene.
5.39am: Cruising on glassy waters 🙂
17 April 2014: This morning I was engulfed by a golden misty blanket and transported to a world of sheer beauty. The elements were all on my side with clear skies, non existent winds and water like a sheet of glass. I’m absolutely loving autumn in Canberra.
