Last year, I went out for countdown Fireworks. This year, went for sunrise shoot with Rajesh, Hock How and Siew Peng, Kam, Suiling, Shyh-Chyang. Thanks Rajesh leading the way up and down and on the slippery rocks, and HH&SP for the ride, and everyone for company!
A panoramic shot of sunrise over the River Mersey from New Brighton looking over to Liverpool, a very intense experience but very short lived.
Entering Yellowstone National Park from the west, the road follows the Madison River for several miles. Driving along that road before sunrise in early June we were treated to this scene with Bison grazing peacefully and steam fog rising from the curving river.
Aerial sunrise at the beach with colourful high cloud at Umina Point, Umina Beach on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
The Palouse is where light, color, form and design, and serendipity can all come together to create magical scenes. This shot is 10 minutes after sunrise at Steptoe Butte.
Stuck at home in another Covid lockdown until at least the middle of May, I'm back to going through my archives, deleting, and finding the occasional image that I may have missed. This is one of them and brings back memories of being in no hurry as the sun gradually made it's way over the horizon on a cloudless morning. It's nicer when there are clouds to catch the light but you cant always have it your way, which is currently where we're at in this pandemic.
I wasn’t sure I would like this image, as I was trying to hide behind some shrubs and poke the camera out to get a clean image of the bird without disturbing it. But the out of focus branches worked out better than I feared.
And sunrise, first light, cures a lot of things.
The Snowies are mostly heading back north at this point, having lost their camouflage ground cover. There is a great PBS documentary - it is very short - documenting the northerly migration of a Snowy Owl. The bird has a tracker attached, and ends up on Amherst Island, of all places.
They fly, stop to eat, and then fly some more. It is pretty incredible, especially the risks they are exposed to the longer they go without finding food.
It was another wonderful winter, with as many as six of these amazing creatures just south of me. Lots of people got to see them, and while there was the predictable misbehaviour, for the most part the birds hunted and slept and lived the version of their lives that came with inhabiting a rural community. Here’s to next winter.
This is taken near Seamans Hut looking across Main Range in Kosciuszko NP before sunrise on a little snowshoeing adventure
I had beautiful clear weather and got some lovely alpine glow
Warm sunlight hues over the sea during a golden hour. The perfect time for a magical play of light and dark.

Southwold, Suffolk.
I used to work in Suffolk for a pharmaceutical company and in the four years I spent down there I visited the coast once and that was in Essex, Clacton!
I was lucky enough to spend four days there last Summer, partly for a break but also to visit where my family is from on my mum's side, Covehithe and South Cove.
I pretty much spent most of last summer/autumn on beaches and like most of us I find myself longing for the space and both the drama of the sea or the peace and tranquility of a walk along a deserted beach.
If you get the chance, you really must grab it and visit. So many interesting places along this coastline.
From earlier in the year, late spring in fact, when the territorial defence calls of the males of the species are the birder’s soundtrack. Now that they have migrated south, there is a quiet calmness to the marshes and wetlands that can seem almost disturbing, after having gotten used to the sounds.
I have only ever been attacked by two birds: one was a Wild Turkey, which I had not seen, who objected very strenuously to my trying to photograph her brood of fledglings; and the other was a male of this species, who decided that I was too close to a nest (I was walking down the sidewalk at the time).
I find the female of the species exceptionally beautiful, and while I don’t go out of my way to photograph them, this bird landed for a moment on some reeds while I was looking for a Grebe, and the light and the background just seemed (to me, anyway) to work for a first light image.

Just before sunrise on Meols beach, Wirral.
Most of the beach is gloopy mud rather than sand and I've previously taken plastic bags to lay my bag on, or take less gear and use the messenger bag. I bought one of these and it's much better, rolls up small and is fairly lightweight. If you spend time on muddy beaches it's worth a look.

Taken in the Assynt region in the North West of Scotland. One of the most remote and wild regions in the UK. There are no marked paths to get to this spot!
It's always breathtaking to watch a prairie sunrise - the moment before the world is born, and then the spreading light. I often turn my attention away from the east or southeast, toward the landscape in the process of being illuminated. The pink blush on distant hills; the warm glow. On this outing I had three Plains Bison - older, "bachelor bulls" that prefer to be far from the chaos of herd life - and one of them added the final touch to this panorama of the Frenchman River Valley at first light.

First light hits Mt. Shasta and this flock. It was our first of three early cold mornings there. On the other two, Mt Shasta was covered in fog.
A break in the predawn snowstorm provided a good opportunity to view Emerald Peak and the Cilantro Cafe. Only 2 other photogs here to share this morning beauty at Emerald Lake. So serene and quiet, till the buses arrived. A favorite morning.
"Legendary guide Tom Wilson first stumbled across this small gem of a lake – famed for its jade-coloured waters – in 1882 during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was Wilson who gave the lake its name because of its remarkable colour, caused by fine particles of glacial sediment, also referred to as rock flour, suspended in the water. However, this was not the first time Wilson had dubbed a lake 'Emerald'. Earlier that same year he had discovered another lake which he had given the same moniker, and the name even appeared briefly on the official map. This first lake however, was shortly renamed Lake Louise."

Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
While fishing the Brunet River in the early morning sun, this beautiful Bald Eagle kept a close eye on my activity, while carefully watching the river for a breakfast meal. She stayed a while before spotting a morsel down river. There can't be a better way to spend a crisp autumn morning.
A sunrise trek to Mt. Batur is an unforgettable adventure that promises breathtaking views. As you climb in the early morning, excitement builds in the cool air. Reaching the summit just in time for dawn, you witness the sky transform into a canvas of vibrant colors. As the first rays of light hit the surrounding landscape, the mist begins to rise, revealing the beautiful surroundings. It’s a moment of pure joy and wonder ⛰️😍
