27 March 2013: This morning I decided to paddle up the Molonglo River to take in another sunrise and what a great decision it was. The transition from pre dawn to full sun up was beautiful, the water was glassy and the mist just topped it all off. I think that I am well and truly addicted to sunrises, but hey what an addiction to have!
25 March 2013: What a sunset, what a afternoon, I was going to use WOW again but I have already used it soooooo many times previously that I am in fear of wearing it out. So tonight sunset can only be described as MEGA WOW!
Lake Burley Griffin and the Canberra skies never cease to amaze me. Yet again I have witnessed another jaw dropping display. It’s natures sky fire!
I had been watching the skies form all afternoon.
24 March 2013: If you were anywhere else in the world you would be raving out it for months! This morning’s setting was so soft and gentle but yet so powerful. Lake Burley Griffin never ceases to amaze me, it just keeps bowling me over and leaves me wanting more. It’s amazing how you can paddle the same place every day and be treated to a totally new experience each time.
Greeting a misty dawn
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.
Mind Blowing Sunrise
9 March 2013: LBG does it again! Back to back mornings and Lake Burley Griffin has treated us to a spectacular display with another jaw dropping sunrise followed by a balloon spectacular which filled the skies and had everyone going Ooooo…. Ahhhh and Oh YEAH! Well that’s what I was saying anyway. I hope that you scroll down and enjoy a few selected pics from this morning’s float.
8 March 2013: Just another standard morning on LBG again…..Mirror reflections, mist on the water, stunning sunrise, brilliant backdrops, angelic swans…and GIANT HOT AIR BALLOONS BASKET DRAGGING ON THE WATER!
The start of a cracker morning on LBG
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!
Mist on the water
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.
6.20am: At this point I am smiling with anticipation
8 Feb 2013: What a sunrise!

6.13am: The beginning of something brilliant
