Mind blowing performance to kick start Canberra’s 100th birthday celebrations.

11 March 2013. Wow wow and wow…did I say wow enough. Lake Burley Griffin has started its 100th birthday celebrations with a mind blowing perfomance. Copper sunrises, balloon silhouettes were dotting the skies, then there was the show stopping showman in the Capital Chemist balloon. He even had time to chat as he changed over of his LPG gas cyclinder as the other ran out of juice while he was basket dragging across the basin towards Black Mountain Tower. He was that calm it felt like we were sitting on his back deck, kicking back and cruising for the afternoon. Unreal, fantastic, brilliant and as many other wow words you can use may come close to the experience I had this morning.

6 March 2013: What a WOW of a morning!

What an unbelievable morning on LBG. It had it all, predawn mist floating on the surface, lights reflecting from our landmarks, silhouettes, golden tones, pastels to the west and then to finish off I was treated to a balloon bonanza.The odd thing is that this happens more often than not…..The judges have given ten out of ten this morning for LBG!

24 Feb 2013: There was a brief break from the wind and the rain this morning so I decided to venture up in the Jerrabomberra Wetlands for a bit of Zen. It hard to believe that the wetlands are only five kilometres from the CBD of Canebrra. You would swear that you are miles away from anything!

Unwinding

There is no better way to unwind and unravel the ball of string. I hadn’t been out on the water for a float for two days so I squeezed in a late afternoon paddle.

Optical explosion

9 Feb 2013: Here we go again, another optical explosion on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra. It amazes how there is such a huge colour change over such a small amount of time. The best part is that this is not a one off sunrise; I am treated to this experience more often than not. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
