2012.04.23 Currimundi Lake Sunrise

It has been awhile since I have headed specifially to the Lake to catch the Sunrise.  Now that the sun comes up a little later (after 6am) it gets a bit late for me to process before I head off to work, so through Autumn and Winter my Sunrise captures usually become the weekend task!


This particular morning I had been procrastinating about excercise... do I go for a ride on my new bike (which my hubby says was a waste of money - cos I never use it), do I go for a walk along the lake with the dog (the dog looking up at me with those pleading big brown puppy dog eyes), or do I jump in the car & head to the beach (which would also keep the dog happy - but I would be unlikely to walk the beach as I get caught up in taking photos)??? Hmmm hard decision.... not really, I just have to stop procrastinating!


So I grabbed the dog, Alex's little Fujifilm camera (just in case I saw something I wanted to capture-and its much lighter to carry..), and headed out the door down along the lake.  As I was heading on the home stretch the sky light captured my attention so I headed across to the bridge, bringing back memories from many years ago as this was where the sunrise captures first started.


It was also coming up to Anzac Day, and Mother Nature did not disappoint, with the cloud band providing some interesting visual effects!!!


Enjoy... 









I couldn't get over how straight and square this reflection on the lake was and with the thin eye slit through the clouds it created the bright shape of a cross... just amazing!








I wanted to stay longer to see what sort of light show would come out from behind the cloud band... but it was getting past my point of no return (to get ready for work in time)!

Namaste
