Moonset and sunrise

On a couple of days a week Fiona heads off to gym for circuit training while it is still dark. I continue to walk on these mornings; and given it is winter here I have experienced some great clear mornings with moonsets and great soft sunrise colours. Thought I might share a few of the images.

So there are benefits in early morning rambles. None of the photos have been altered - just nature's amazing colour palette.

And the photo above is the refection of the sun on the high-rise buildings in Brisbane's CBD which is about 80klms away from our back deck as the crow flies.

  5. Love the last photo! It's what I see behind your art pieces. Gorgeous view. PS - let me know if you get my email.. Who knew if you don't have your email address in your profile no one can respond to your comments. Which is why you've never received my response to some of your comments. I just found that out and have been responding away into NO Man's Land. Sorry.

  6. Pretty damn cold walking at that hour Barry... I wait until the sun is well and truly up. However, as you can see, am at the computer early, and raced out regularly on the day of the lunar eclipse with camera in hand. Your images are much better than mine.

  8. Barry ...
    great pix ... but it looks pretty frosty out there at that time of day - think I'll stay under the blankets until Mother Sun brings me a warm cup of sunrays at 7pm ...
    cheers - Ken

  9. S, AM, L, DA, SZQ, JM,V, R & K - I'm pleased that we can share the different aspects of ours days and lives even though we are spread across the globe - still sharing and connected by the same sky. I always find the last and first light of day special - though not always up for the first light. B
