Sunrises, sunsets, kayaking and other adventures
What makes a trip? The scenery, the weather, of course. But gorgeous scenery abound. At the end of the day though, it's the fuzzy, warm feeling that you get when you look back. Feelings borne from the company we keep. There's TS, a grandfather of four, but more fit and strong than I could ever …
Second last night of our weeklong trip: We just had a final 15 km to go - easy peasy, compared to the other 25-30 km days we've had in some epic conditions. However, our rash guards were starting to smell ripe, despite our best attempts to rinse them out to dry every night. And most …

Sunday - I had nothing on the schedule, so I thought, why not hit up Gardens by the Bay at sunrise, and bring my new Fujifilm X100F out for a spin? I was surprised by the number of people up and about. Before the sun rose, there were already groups of cyclists and runners out. …
My new job is with a company headquartered in Sydney, so I had the good fortune to return for a visit 3 months after leaving. 🙂 One of the first things I did was to schedule in time on the water. On the weekends, I went out paddling on the inner harbour, lousy spring weather …
We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather this weekend when the group of 7 of us tripped down to Kangaroo Valley for a spot of kayaking and camping. The skies were clear, the air crisp and cool, and there was not a hint of breeze. A complete opposite of our January experience really. As …
I take it as a compliment when people ask me what camera I use for my photos. After all, if they didn't like them, they wouldn't have bothered right? Still, there's more to picture taking than a state of the art camera. And this past week, I've had the opportunity to practice what I preach. …
We couldn't have asked for a lovelier sunrise on Christmas Eve. Great clouds led to a long and sustained orange sky. Such a peaceful way to greet the morning. After, Lisa, Jeff and I headed up to Manly for a Manly to Shelly swim. This time last year, we had just set as our 2017 …
If the wind conditions aren't insane, chances are, we are out on the water at sunrise, pretty much rain or shine. This morning's forecast was supposed to be clear skies, but we know how unreliable the forecast is. As it was, I could see the thick blanket of cloud float eastwards, over the top of …
We got back to Sydney late Sunday night from a fun wedding weekend in Melbourne. A bit too much indulging, which is tiring business! So a potential sleep-in thanks to the lousy weather forecast didn't seem like a bad idea. But the weather has been playing up on us recently, so we decided to take …
ONE:Â Color, color, color! When you get high cloud cover at sunrise, that's pretty much the recipe for brilliant hues of pink and orange, not just in the sky, but spread all over the landscape - the water, the Opera House, people's upturned faces. TWO:Â Drama, and texture Clouds add a layer of depth to …
