2012.05.29 Toowoomba Sunrise

The last leg of our road trip, Goondiwindi to Brisbane (I wanted to drop in to the hospital in Brisbane to visit my father), then the home stretch to the Sunshine Coast!


We were up around 4.30am to hit the road... to early for Macca's, so the roadhouse was the brekky & fuel stop.  Toasted Bacon & Egg sandwiches for the boys, Muffin & cuppa for mum. 


I have always found that sunrise moment when the light suddenly brightens the earth is always the hardest to adapt to when driving, ie... you feel OK whilst it is still dark then the moment that light hits, you start getting real weary... Unfortunately this was how Jeff was feeling, so then I had to drive and work out how I would also capture that Sunrise ahead???


This shot was captured at first light


Then into the drivers seat... so this is the drivers perspective of fog ahead across the road...


Then capturing the glowing balls first presence through the trees...


where is the road ahead?  I can't use the view finder (whilst driving) so just taking a punt on my direction..


My last capture, as the sun is now too bright, the skies are clear and I have a few hour drive ahead of me.

Coming into Toowoomba I was 'oohing' & 'ahhhing' at possible photo captures I was missing ... so the boys stepped in and had a play...

Cody captured this truck and street light silhouette...


Alex took over with these soft flags billowing in the soft sunlight..




Then Cody took the reins again to capture this 'on the move' moment...


and lastly heading down the range, with the bright sunlight through the trees.

Then homeward bound...

Namaste...
