A Different Perspective

1 May 2013: I just love seeing Canberra from a different perspective. This morning I was floating around on the water from 5.30am. Initially it was clear as a bell and I was taking in some awesome lighting reflections from the National Museum and the Commonwealth Bridge. I could see the fog brewing in pre dawn distance down in the wetlands and it wasn’t long before the fog slowly crept in and blanketed the entire lake. This created an amazing atmosphere out there on the water. I am loving the transition from autumn to winter. I hope that you like the shots.

High Voltage Viewing

26 April 2013: What an electric morning. I decided to venture into the wetlands this morning for a peaceful paddle as the winds were up a little. The sky this morning was amazing and the calmness of the wetlands combined together to produce some stunning landscapes scenery. How lucky are we to have something like this on our door step. I don’t think that there would be too many other Capital cities in the world that have a wetland environment five minutes from its CBD. I hope that you enjoy a few snap shots from this morning.

5.52am: It was shaping up to be a howler on a morning.

25 April 2013: LEST WE FORGET.This morning was a time to pay respect and reflect on the ultimate sacrifice that all of our diggers have made for us. Your courage, true grit and never say die attitude has allowed my family, friends and myself to live such a wonderful life in this brilliant country.

Autumn Misty Morning

24 April 2013: What a misty morning marvel. It felt that the water temp has dropped a few degrees since yesterday and there was even a light frosting on the windscreen  this morning. But it’s conditions like these that produce a mystical feeling out on the water.

Total elegance and sheer beauty.

This is one session that will be etched in my mind for a long time. Total elegance and sheer beauty are the first words I would use to describe the swans. I decided to dedicate an entire blog post of the swan silhouettes from a Sunday morning paddle a few weeks ago. There are no captions, no time references, just the swans themselves. I hope you enjoy.

A Mesmerising Morning

17 April 2013: Out of the darkness and into the light is the perfect way to caption my paddle this morning. Autumn is certainly in the air with the temperature dropping to five degrees overnight. The combination of the clouds and the soft light framed the morning brilliantly and made for  a mesmerising start to the day.

6.19am: A misty start at Lotus bay.

Chillaxing all the way but our senses were on fire!

13 April 2013: We had it all this morning, fire red autumn leaves reflecting on glassy water, misty silhouettes, dragon boats, laser sunrises and crystal blue skies. But in true style we just sat back and chillaxed our way through the entire morning, taking it all in and making sure that we didn’t miss a thing. There may have been a chill in the air but the senses were definitely on fire this morning. Yet again I have been treated to an awesome autumn display on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra.

Misty start to the morning once again.
