I make an effort to head out to photograph the local landscape every day. Quite often I will head out for sunrise (usually at one of the local beaches) and, if the skies are looking good I’ll head out for sunset too. In a sense these collections are like photo diaries too as I often make note of anything that catches my eye.
Sunset Reflections at Gerroa
Some blocking cloud ruined the back-lighting at sunset, but the beautiful spring conditions more than made up for it.
Moody Sunset at the Wharf
With a bit of clear space between the rain clouds I headed down to the river in Shoalhaven Heads to photograph what turned out to be a moody sunset on the river.
Pastel Sunrise on a Wind-Blown Seven Mile Beach
I didn’t actually set the alarm clock for sunrise this morning, but Catherine did because she was going running, so I got up anyway and was treated to a lovely pastel sunrise.
Burst of Colour on Berrys Beach
Winds had moved most of the high level cloud to the north, but there was still a decent spray of the good stuff to back-light the sunrise on Berrys Beach.
Peaceful Skies Above Seven Mile Beach National Park
No promise of cloud, but not promise of wind either, so I headed out to Seven Mile and photographed the sunrise from the golf course end of the beach.
Double Rainbow at the Old Wharf
With the windy conditions finally abated I decided to see how the sunset worked out at the old public wharf in Shoalhaven Heads and was rewarded with a double rainbow.
Gale Forces Winds, a Winter Sunset and an Empty Seven Mile
It’s been extremely windy for the last three days here in the south coast and it was still gusting to 50kph when I headed down onto Seven Mile Beach at Sunset last night. The beach was deserted save for me and a pair of sea eagles.
Sea Eagles, Succulents and Sunrise on Seven
The cloud forecast was slightly out and, what promised to be a classic colourful sunrise here, actually kicked off about 100k to the south. But the colours were still good and the sea eagle paid us a visit so it was still a memorable sunrise.
Sunset Colour at Gerroa
Cloud forecast was good, but by sunset most of it had been blown south – the lack of wind however meant that the wide sands of Seven Mile Beach were like mirrors.
