This morning’s sunrise had spectacular colours again.
Took my daughter to the doctor to have the stitches checked early this morning. Healing well, though there will be some scarring. The ER doctor had unfortunately not pulled the wound closed everywhere. Hopefully it will heal soon. Until then, she gets carried around a lot.
I will make another post today, just trying to catch up on the never-ending housework today!
My last chance to take sunrise photos came on the Monday. I had been using my mobile phone as an alarm and the battery was on its last legs. My daughter got restless at 5:10am, so I decided to just get up. The timing couldn’t have been more prefect.
I walked to the top of the bluff. This is the view from the top, from first light to full sun up. In the distance you can see Mornington Peninsula. You can also see Queenscliff and Sorrento, where the ferry crosses.
Some definite advantages to getting up early when on holiday!
PS I got the new website up and running: http://whiteforgephotos.com.au
Thanks to my wonderful husband for putting it all together for me.
Before we left I looked up the times for sunrise. I set the alarm and actually managed to wake up and be ready on time. The nice thing about being up so early (sunrise was at 6:15 so I was up at 5:45), is that everyone else is still fast asleep. It is amazingly peaceful and quiet.
I had the beach all to myself.
The sky had started getting a little colour. The water had small ripples running across it from a really light breeze. The sand on the shore was full of little “bobbles”. I would guess that was from little crabs and sea creatures burrowing in the sand.
The reflections from the sunrise were fantastic. I walked up to the rock pools at the top of the beach and took most of my shots from there.
The fishing boats were rushing out from the river mouth to get an early start to their day. It was quite something to see them charging across the water and around t he bluff.
Then the sun came up…
The colours are just so awesome!
Walking back I turned around and got this beautiful view.
I went on a weekend photography workshop. That meant getting up early Saturday morning before the sun was even up. As someone who really likes to sleep, this was rather hard! I was rewarded with the most beautiful colours in the sky though. The river looked magical.
I wasn’t the only one up so early. Trams were running and people were walking around.
I will post more photos of the weekend as the week progresses. I met some wonderful people.
