2012.06.18 Monday Morning Magic mmm

Wowser.... how beautiful was it Monday morning?  Crisp, clear skies.... clean rolling waves... great to have sunlight to play with again! :)


Below are a few of the images I captured, and since my little break away from the camera I have come back more inspired to experiment with my "Sunlight Art" - Those images which involve the sunlight to be created, but are open to interpretation, as another soul mentioned on facebook only yesterday "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures".

Hope you enjoy.... 

First Light from Currimundi Beach

the Bridge

Grassy silhouettes

(can't forget) Milo

I wonder what the ships views are like?

Sunlight through the Dune Grasses

hazy dreams on a golden morning

may the forces of nature be with you!

oceans of Gold

Golden ripples

liquid Gold

clear sunrise over Currimundi Beach

golden sands

when the ocean meets the sand

spots and lines (who said they don't go together)

beware the sleeping dragon...

from under the pandanus

....until tomorrow

Namaste...

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...

2012.05.06 Sunday Sunrise

2012.05.06 - it is Sunday, the sun is rising and will keep on shining according to the forecast, it's a long weekend (in QLD), people are surfing, camping and just enjoying life!! :)

I'm off to catch that sunrise and soak in its energy (seeing as it has been raining most mornings last week), and find out where the WindanSea Boardriders comp will be.

Enjoy...

Namaste..

2012.04.25 Anzac Day Sunlight

It is Anzac Day - 25th April 2012... I had grandparents that put their lives on the line for us, so in memory of them all...

The Ode

The Ode came from 'For the Fallen', a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in The Winnowing Fan: Poems on the Great War in 1914. The verse which became the League Ode was already used in association with commemoration services in Australia in 1921.

For the Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flash of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

There wasn't too much sun in the rise this morning, so it became about capturing the light and cloud formations as I saw them.

Enjoy...

Namaste
