Christmas Eve (Eve)

23rd December 2014, Embleton Bay, 9am

Terrible news from horrible accident in Glasgow - so near Christmas, so sad.

Holiday morning
Sand is smooth, sky is quiet
Grateful for this life

To the East the sun rises on Christmas Eve 2014 at 8:34 am
To the West Daisy spies 3 deer grazing on the golf course
Happy, peaceful Christmas friends

convergence

20th December 2014, Newton Point, 8am

This morning before dawn the clouds were brightly lit by a sun that was still below the horizon. Great parallel lines of golden clouds given an illusion of convergence by the huge distance of sky that they cover. They seem set to purposefully meet at some far distant point.



Then the sun rose through the clouds at the horizon

decisions, decisions...

6th December 2014, Embleton Bay, 8am

A set of six photos from pre-dawn to sunrise this morning. Sometimes I can't decide if I like the wide view or the zoomed in.

Note the glove on the sand that had been knicked off me a few minutes before by this innocent looking face.

enjoying the dark

3rd December 2014, Embleton Bay, 4:30pm

We're getting used to the dark walks me and Daisy and, after a cold, bright day, we found the beach quiet and calm with the moon shining on the sea. The last colour was still in the sky.




I kept my torch off and let my eyes adjust to the dark. Soon the moon's shadows became apparent across the sand and the silver light of the moon was beautiful.



A winter walk by moonlight 
I’d rather walk by starlight
When the sun is yet to rise
When nothing stirs and all is still
But distant night-time cries
Or wander here by moonlight
When the sun has newly set
Til eyes adjust to gathering dark
No moonlight shadows yet
Winter means the dark will fall
When usually it’s day
We rush to switch on lamps and lights
To keep the dark at bay
But venture out, don’t be afraid
To feel the dark embrace
Wide-eyed seek the shadows out
Let senses set the pace.
Familiar landscapes set anew
Lie just beyond your door
Sights and sounds are waiting let
Your inner child explore
