2012.04.19 On my way home...

Heading home from work this day (19th April 2012) I spied the sun setting behind a cloud and giving that cloud an absolutely amazing silver lining... 


It is always a bugger when I am stuck in traffic, I look up at the sky and my jaw drops... I ask myself "is the camera in the car?" nodding... I look around, 'hmmm, can I just jump out in the traffic while the lights are red?' ahhh, maybe not!  So I head to the bridge at Currimundi and make the most of what is left.


So then with the light fading, and the traffic humming past on their way home from their busy days... I had a bit of a play with the light...


Enjoy!

There is a silver lining behind every cloud

Gorillas in the mist... or is that cloud?

Not sure if these were starlings or bats or both, but there were lots of them!

and on the other side of the bridge - 'tis amazing how the colours can be so different ...

in the traffic..

Suburbia - heading home.

tail trails...

oncoming traffic at magic hour..

and this was my fave... 'The bus' that didn't stop!

2012.03.29 a sad sunrise from Currimundi Beach

Thursday 29th March 2012..... shattering news was heard y'day afternoon, Wed 28th March as a young 14yo Surf Life Saver was feared drowned off Kirra Beach whilst competing at the Aussie titles.  We heard it was Matt Barclay.  A myriad of emotions flowed, as we tried to comprehend this news... the devastation for his family and friends, as their lives will never be the same.  


So I headed to the beach on Thursday morning to follow the sun, with young Matty and his family on my mind and in my heart, praying that he would be found.  


Pondering... Parents are supposed to watch their children grow up & be successful in whatever they chose, enjoy their own families - and then look after us when we are frail, knowing we have all lived full & enriched lives. No words will ever help ease the pain, every corner you turn there is a reminder of what they could have been doing. There is always the 'bigger picture' but sometimes life can just be downright cruel :(

20012.03.27 A cloudy start to the day and the beginning of an emotional week

Well, the 27th March started out a little cloudy... felt a bit like my head of late with young teenagers and schooling challenges (no one ever wrote the text book for that one..), after our own minor flooding issues on the 22nd, Month End challenges at work etc... but little were we aware of the emotional roller coaster ride we were about to embark on...


You will have to read through the next few blog posts to catch up on this news, but below are what I captured following the sun on this day!

'First light over Ann St rocks'

'As the sun appears on the horizon.. below the cloud band'

'Lighting up the clouds'

'A bright burst...'

'Moss on the Rocks' at Ann St Rocks, Currimundi

2012.02.16 Currimundi Beach Sunrise

Woke up to rain again this morning, although sporadic so I thought I would venture down to the beach front anyway and see what sort of show the clouds and sun would put on for me today.


This is what awaited...

5.24am off Currimundi Beach before the sunrise

2012.02.13 Currimundi Sunrise

Good morning Monday!


I was intrigued with what sort of show the skies would put on this morning after last nights rain... the cloud band on the horizon was quite thick but this was what I captured down along Currimundi Beach at Ann St...

  

Enjoy your day!


Namaste...
