Sunday sunrise...

[khiemtran]

Sunday morning and I'm out at the mouth of the Georges River, taking photos.




And the view out across the Georges River, where I normally sail. (Maritime calls this Botany Bay, but usually when people talk about Botany Bay, they mean the part further out past the mouth of the river.)



Here's the channel that runs out towards the bay. The poles are starboard markers, which means the channel is on the right hand side of them in this picture. (Technically, it means you need to keep them on your port side when heading out to sea and on your starboard side when coming in.) When I'm sailing on Thursday nights, I like to do laps around them.



Lots of people fishing quietly by the Captain Cook bridge.



And a view of the bridge itself on the way back down.



More people fishing down at the sailing club. That pole is a bit of a nuisance when you're trying to launch into an onshore breeze.

I love the golden light in those pictures.

Yes, I knew it would a special morning before I'd left the house. I just didn't know if I'd make if to the bridge before sunrise. As it was, if turned out I had plenty of time to watch it rise.

There's a lovely warm quality to the light.

Thanks! I could tell it was going to be a special morning just from the pre-dawn light. I'm going to have to go back there at dawn more often.

The sun looks like a six-petaled flower in the second photo ^_^

Lovely, lovely golden color.

I think the six-pointed pattern must be a lens artifact, although I'm not sure what mechanism would lead to it.

Ooh - beautiful bronze light, especially in the last photo and the one of the guy in the small fishing boat. We are so far from the sea here that your pictures are a real treat. Thank you!

You're welcome! The light has been excellent here lately.
