2 April 2014: I just love being greeted with mist dancing on mirrored waters and soft subtle tones. I had such a pleasurable time watching the soft tones transform into a vivid and bright explosion of light as the sun burst the morning mist to liven up the day. I’ll gladly be welcomed like that any time. Have a great day!
29 March 2014: There’s something special about slicing through glassy waters in the dark while being surrounded in fog. Autumn is here and I’m loving it, I was so excited the moment I open the door at 5.30am to discover that it was a foggy morning here in Canberra. The winds were no existent and I just couldn’t get myself down to the lake quick enough. It’s something that is hard to describe, but it’s an experience that is totally unique and something quite a surreal.
I wonder if Excalibur is hidden here….That’s how it felt.
I thought it only fitting to compile a 100 shots as a tribute to the Centenary of Canberra. I’ve had a fantastic year being mesmerised by so many gorgeous sunrises and I am continually amazed at how LBG constantly treats me to a wonderful natural lightshow each and every paddling session. Canberra should be known as the ‘Sunrise Capital of Australia’. The four seasons have been superb. One minute you are paddling through pea soup fog, the next you’re being wowed by amazing pastels tones, or being dazzled by brilliant golden hues, the variety is extensive. I found it extremely hard to select the final 100 as I have snapped over 30,000 photos this year. That would have to be a life time of sunrises in one year- how lucky I am!
I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I hope that you have an enjoyable holiday break.
Thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing and hearing from you all in the new year.
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.

20 Nov 2013: I know I keep saying it, but once again I have been treated to another stunning morning. The pastel tones transformed into a glorious golden glow as the sun popped up over the landscape, unveiling a beautiful day.
Once again I’m greeted with Pastel pinks to the West…..How good is that!
7 Nov 2013: This morning I was treated to a gorgeous sunrise and stunning silhouettes. I ventured over the mouth of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands and caught a the sunrise with ‘Pedro’ and his Squadron. Soon after that the members from The “Capital Lakes Rowing Club” were getting ready for their morning rowing session on LBG. Then to top it all of I decided to drift my way through the Kingston Foreshore developed. I don’t think it will be too long before the Kingston Foreshore will be alive and buzzing, I’m looking forward to grabbing a table, sitting back on the pier and enjoying the view. It’s going to be another beautiful day here in Canberra so I hope that you get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Have a great day!
6 Nov 2013: I was totally mesmerised by the mist this morning. There wasn’t any need for speed at all so I decided to kick back and float my through a magnificent misty morning. The crew from the ‘Burley Griffin Canoe Club’ or I should call them the ‘Mist Busters’ were going through their paces and blasted past me as usual. It shaping up to be a fantastic day, so I hope you get the chance to get outside today and enjoy.
5.29am and I’m floating though the mist on the Molonglo River.
31 OCT 2013: It was a beautiful misty start on Lake Burley Griffin this morning. I was enjoying the peace and calm waiting for the sun to rise and out of the rising mist on the Molonglo River shot the Ice Dragon Outrigger Canon Club, they looked fantastic. I drifted my kayak into the East Basin enjoying the sunrise to discover plenty of activity with the outriggers, surf boats, sculls and kayakers all going through their morning paces. All this activity made for an enjoyable Thursday morning float.
5.36am: I looking forward to this morning.
