Respect and reflect on Anzac Day

Posted on April 25, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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. I have put together a sequence from this mornings paddle on Anzac Day. It’s because of you that I am able to experience so many stunning sunrises and sunsets and call Australia home. I thank you!

A Mesmerising Morning

Posted on April 17, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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.

14 April 2013: The start was sublime, the sunrise was mesmerising, the wonderful wetlands was the perfect place to stage such an event and the morning which unfolded was divine! This would have to be the biggest blog roll ever! What a transformation! So many exclamation marks! I experienced an absolute stunner of a morning! This is what living is all about!

6.02am: At this point I’m thinking that this is shaping up to be another cracker.

Chillaxing all the way but our senses were on fire!

Posted on April 13, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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.

12 April 2013: Totally glorious!
After a week of beautiful weather it was a fitting end to the week with a near perfect grand finale. The conditions were so calm, the water was like a sheet of glass, the morning transformation was once again stunning and the air temp was spot on. Totally glorious describes it the best. I hope that you were fortunate enough to be out and about this morning and experienced it. Have a great weekend!

Loving this Ground Hog Day

Posted on April 9, 2013 by kayakcameraman

9 April 2013: I don’t want to start each blog with, beautiful, stunning, serene, amazing and the words alike, but that’s what’s the what it’s been like each morning so far. Each day I am treated to soft misty tones that burn off to reveal a brilliant autumn day and if the forecast is correct, it’s going to remain like this for a few more days. If this is ground hog day; well I’m loving it!

Sunrise addiction

Posted on March 27, 2013 by kayakcameraman

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.

Velvet wrapped sledge hammer

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

Cruising with the captain

Posted on March 21, 2013 by kayakcameraman

21 March 2013: What a brilliant morning!
The conditions were so good that I decided to take my four year old ‘Captain Nemo’ out for a float on the lake in my double sea kayak ‘The Big Bopper’. The conditions we perfect, excellent, wonderful and any other words that you can use to describe what it was like being out there. I hope you were lucky enough to be out and about this morning to experience it.
