Randomness Strikes Again

Yep, no common theme except stuff I see on the way to work and on the way home. Birds, trees, buildings, clouds, sunrises, sunsets... Yeah, nothing in common what so ever.

Ooops....

...Forgot to process and upload recent pictures and I don't feel like trawling the archives. Here's a quick few pictures from back in April at least. Stay tuned.





Might have to find myself one of these this week. Great weather outside and summery.

Morning Light

Sunrises are sometimes the best time to take pictures in my opinion. Then again I am a bit of a cloud and sky watcher. I am also thinking that I may have to start getting up earlier to be in the right positions to catch that light these days with the sun rising just before I am ready to get out the door. Trust me though, when taking pictures it's worth the effort to get up early.

2008: Mornings.

Mornings, as a security guard working the night shift I saw a lot of them. I don't mind mornings that much, I just like them on my terms. So with my camera in hand I took the mornings and used the opportunity to catch the sunrises when I could. It's amazing how the light changes in the area at different times of the year. Or in different weather conditions. Take this picture for example.



You have to see it in a larger size to catch the light. It was if I recall one of those days were it was raining with the cloud cover just over us and the sun was "under" the cloud cover. The way it was filtered through was just breathtaking.

Other mornings were typical in the summer. I would catch the light off buildings, through buildings and between buildings.



All these pictures were taken in the downtown core where I was working. I wasn't there all the time though. Sometimes I was other places and caught other scenes. Like down at the beach.


That was a journey. I was on a mission which I will talk about in a separate post.

Not all mornings are sunshine and glory, you get the cloudy days as well which have a light and dark beauty all there own. When the clouds are high and rolling, or low and foreboding. They are all there to be appreciated as well. Sometimes it will suit a mood, or bring you into one.


I am always keeping my eyes open. Watching and looking. I seem to have my eyes to the sky most often. I guess it's the light and the dreams I used to have. I haven't always walked. Anyway keep walking and looking for those sunrises.
