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.
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.
Sunset at Hanging Rock
I was in Nowra on family taxi duties and had an hour to kill at sunset, so I drove up to the showground and photographed the sunset from the picturesque Hanging Rock above the Shoalhaven River.
Boxercise, Argumentative Seabirds and Purple Flowers
Forecast for sunrise colour wasn’t awesome but I like mornings like that because you have to get inventive with your photographic compositions.
