Super Dooper Mega WOW
31 August 2013: That was one of the most mind blowing gorgeous, stunning, brilliant, vivid, amazing, glorious, fantastic (and as many other great words you can use) sunrise. Super wow, mega wow come close to describing the impact that had on me. I am truly blessed to be able to experience something like this. My Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime this morning capturing a superb send off to winter. I hope you enjoy the shots from this morning as much I do.
Hidden Treasure
22 August 2013: I was totally blown away this morning. Who would have thought that a vivid and gorgeous sunrise could take place on such a blustery and miserable morning? I was on the water for 6am and I decided to drift my way up the Molonglo River with dark and heavy clouds brooding overhead. Then it was as if someone opened the hidden treasure box. The light show was brilliant, intense and lasted for about 10 minutes. My pocket rocket ‘Canon PowerShot D20’ was working over time as I truly didn’t expect to be treated to anything like this at all. The beautiful colours were quickly extinguished and it wasn’t long before I was paddling amongst light drizzle. Totally amazing; it just goes to show you, you never know what you will experience until you get out there and have a go.
The skies were angry this morning!

Best of July
What a wonderful winter it’s been. The thing I love the most about winter is that it produces the most amazing conditions with each morning having its own unique signature. One morning its crystal clear and the Red Chilli is slicing its way through glassy waters. The next morning it’s thick as pea soup and you can’t see five metres in front of you. I hope that you enjoy the variety of shots that comprise my ‘Best of July’ photo journal.
A brilliant transformation, the pastel pinks quickly turned into glossy gold’s.
Sunday Spectacular
28-July 2013: Unbelievable! Vivid reds and vibrant oranges lit up the morning skies to produce one of the best sunrises that I have seen for a while. But it didn’t stop there, then the morning transformed into an amazing light spectrum that constantly wowed me for the entire that I was out there. The glassy waters of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra were the perfect accompaniment and at times it felt like I was slicing through the clouds. The photos just don’t do it justice and as note, none of my photo’s are digitally enhanced at all, this makes it even more amazing.

Molten Sunrise
19 July 2013: WOW. It looked as though molten lava was spilling from the sky and floating on the waters surface this morning. That sunrise is etched well and truly into my retinas for life. Its been a while since I have taken in a sunrise that was so vivid; it was mind blowing. Newcastle has certainly farewelled me in true style. I hope you enjoy the shots.
Fav shots from the last 12 Months
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.
Marvellous Morning Transformation
10 June 2013: I’m still blown away by this mornings light show. What a transformation, what a spectacle, there is no better way to start the day! I’m going to throw straight into the photos, so enough with all of my ranting and raving. I hope you like this mornings photo story.
It was a nice early start to the day.
A Winter Transformation
1 June 2013: Winter started in true style this morning by lighting up the skies with beautiful pastel tones. We began with deep pre-dawn pinks which slowly built in intensity. It seemed as though I had witnessed nature’s palate for pinks, mauves and purples which slowly progressed to a stunning sunrise glow. It wasn’t long before the heavy clouds rolled in from the west quickly extinguishing all colour and soon it felt like I was paddling in a world of black and white. This was one amazing transformation.

Into another world
29 May 2013: All the warning signs were there that it was going to feel like you were paddling in another world this morning; at times it even felt like I was paddling in a world of sepia. The heavy blanketing fog certainly gave Lake Burley Griffin a mysterious and eerie presence. I just love starting the day like this!
