Emu

If you look closely – and it does not take imagination on acid 🙂 to see it..you can see the outline of a emu running, made by the succulent creeper on the rocks.

or..you could, like my 4yro chaos, see a dinosaur, however she sees dinos everywhere at the moment.

A normal view

Sometimes i do get caught up in the Long exposures, the sunrise and forget to actually take a few 'normal' touristy style shots, so anyway, here is one such shot on the walk back from the Sunrise location – just a pretty part of the coast.

Cling to Hope

Nature is amazing, these little scrubs cling to life on the edge of these cliffs and seem to take pride in being as robust as the rocks 🙂 This ones for you little fella..

Pastel dawn looking sort of north-ish toward Maroubra.

Nature vs city

Predawn swirls on the cliffs of Malabar – the under rated location in Sydney. Maroubra in the distance.

Thanks to +Rodney Campbell for the company and being a spider web removalist.

+Suren J buy yourself a real camera and I'll see you next time 😉 This was a trip down memory lane from the DSLRusers session with the ray-man. Btw, no wet feet and no (or very little ) mud

Warm vs Cold

I waited a good ten minutes for the right wave to run over the little shelf but alas it was not to be, hence the trickle rather than the desired 'whoosh'. Probably a good thing for 30 seconds after i left the big set came thru and and where i was standing was well and truly swamped 🙂

I am always a fan of images in which there is battle for the light and dark or cool and warm – in this case the shadows of the rockshelf gave me the cool side of the world and the cloud muffled warm light gave me, well the warm side.

Somewhere south of Garie beach – far away from the bustle of the city and monday to friday 🙂

Natural Frame

After spending quite sometime wandering around the lower part of the falls looking for a darn tree to frame the lower falls, this tree just jumped out and said frame me 🙂 Pure gnarliness – its like nature just knew what to do to make a nice image.

Once again, nature, 3.5 stars for you!

Welcome to the Morning – The outflow

After ditching (sorry guys) +Suren J and +Rodney Campbell for my morning exercise (sand run follwed by rock run 😉 ) I finally came upon some very nice rock shelves which did lend them to be positioned with the moments of brilliant colour on the dark and threatening clouds.

Yellow

A slight change from my usual displays of green mossy stuff – i came across this quite bizarre yellow rock coverings that seemed to be nicely timed with the predawn yellow of the sky.

Well done nature, 3.5 stars for you today.

Sharks Teeth

My thoughts go out to Zac and his mates/family who was mortally injured the other day in a shark attack just north of Coffs Harbour – way to young too die. Rest in peace buddy.

Thus, the image, a horizon that reminded me of the mouth of a shark, even more appropriate given Zac was body boarding at the time of the shark attack.
