Photograph taken with the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm in the distance at 06:15am on Sunday October 25th 2015 in the magic of The Golden Hour around Sunrise, (Sunrise was at precisely 06:35am), at an altitude of Two metres, off Botany Road and Marine Drive, on the sandy shoreline of Botany Bay in Broadstairs, Kent, England.
I set off at 04:35am, remembering that the clocks went backwards by one hour this morning, and drove the one and a half hour journey there to enjoy a lovely sunrise, with the tide incoming fast. After the shoot, a wonderful full English breakfast on the balcony of a pub in Viking Bay, Broadstairs. The seven bays in Broadstairs consist of: (From south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay.
Thanet offshore windfarm was officially opened on September 23rd 2010 and was for a time, the largest offshore windfarm project in the world. The eight lines of turbines, one hundred of them in total, run north-west to south-east, covering a total area of 35sq km off Foreness Point near Margate. Each turbine is 115 metres high with 44-metre blades, and the project cost between £780-900million

Kamay, now known as Sydney’s Botany Bay, was once a very quiet place with archeological evidence of peaceful coexistence of several indigenous clans dating back thousands of years.
This dawn shot shows a lot of what those people saw for thousands of years, now we have the added blight of the Port Boranty Industrial Zone.

Behold a wonderful harbinger of spring, Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). This Poppy Family wildflower, named for its orange- or scarlet-colored sap, is a spring ephemeral species. As such, it's quick to leaf out, bloom, and complete its growth-and-reproduction cycle in the spring before the forest canopy above fills in and dramatically reduces the light level.
