Sunrise at a small bay near Point Turton, York Peninsula, South Australia.

This particular set of photos were taken approximately 10 minutes before 'true' sunrise.

A beautiful time to connect with nature and recharge on the fresh ocean air.

Back to my comfortable photography genre of Australian Landscapes.

For those who may not know, The Twelve Apostles are breathtaking examples of nature at work. Free standing rock stacks that are pounded by waves from the southern oceans. It is the differential rates of erosion along the coast with alternate bands of hard and soft rocks which results in an irregular coastline.

Summer in Australia, thought by many to be scorchingly HOT. Well so did I, until I travelled the Great Ocean Road expecting warm, sunny days with beautiful crimson sunsets. It rained from the Victorian border all the way to Torquay. But, the journey was no less beautiful. As you can see here moisture from the recent rain was withheld amongst the cliffs and created a beautiful carpet of fog. It is a spectacular sight and a unique way to view this incredible region.

This is an unusual genre of photograph for me. It is always enjoyable to embrace and explore different avenues of photography. We stopped in to a small cafe during the late afternoon yesterday while on a relaxing Sunday drive through the Adelaide Hills. The day was slowly drifting by with light drizzle teasing the windscreen wipers. Once inside this little cafe named "Jimmy's" it instantly looked both classy and welcoming. A small fire engulfed the chill from the air.

This Frangelico Affogato really set the taste buds into overdrive.

Peace-

The 25th of April marks ANZAC day in both Australia and New Zealand. It is an opportunity for all people to remember the sacrifices of the young men and women who lost their lives fighting for their country. As the diggers from the First and Second World Wars grow old, it is even more important for the young generations to share the memories and pride of ANZAC day. Lest we forget...

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
