What better way to start summer than with a spectacular, red sunrise.
The sunrise today was very strange. From dark yellow throughout the sky initially to these very colourful red and purple tones within a minute or two. And it was all gone few minutes later.
This colourful photograph from Terrigal was actually taken after sunrise, when the sun hid behind the clouds spraying its rays through the clouds. The foreground rocks you can see are at Skillion.
I got up quite early this morning and could not get back to sleep. I checked my emails and started to read some of my favourite blogs, when in the corner of my eye quite a spectacular sunrise emerged. The valley was covered in a very dense fog and the sun set golden morning hue to it all. At moments, I could see the fog dissolving in plasma like patterns. Something regrettably I could not capture in this photograph.
We had a very foggy morning today. The fog was visible everywhere from the inland bush areas to the sea coast as seen here at Bateau Bay. The peninsula was wrapped in the thick raising for and lit by the warm sunrise light. Quite beautiful and inspiring.
Rock fishing is a very popular form of fishing in Australia. However, as this photograph of a huge wave raising high above the fishermen demonstrates it can be a very dangerous activity. This photograph was taken soon after sunrise and the fishermen look straight in to the light of the morning sun may not even see a big wave like this coming his way. Luckily, this man was a very experienced fishermen and kept moving away from the edge of the rocks as each big wave set approached.
If you can find this serene place a soft pillow is awaiting you. You can sit down, watch a sunrise and sip freshly brewed coffee. The ocean waves and the seagulls will sing their song and the steps will soak in the warmth of the morning light, awaiting you, but you are still asleep.
Here is another Sunday sunrise from Terrigal. This photograph is a blend of three exposures - so called HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique.
