Winter Sunrise Is A Real Freeze Frame
Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON
This shot was taken just before dawn about four months ago, during the Australian winter. I was walking across Princes Bridge here in Melbourne and the wind was icy but bracing. Halfway across the bridge I stopped and got my camera out because the colours in the sky were just amazing. I stood there for about three or four minutes and shot maybe a dozen frames. This was halfway through the sequence and I opted to go vertical because the reflected pink light was just shimmering all across the surface of the Yarra. With "pink" being the subject for this week's Photo Hunt, I knew this had to be my contribution.
Now that is a nice shot. A great choice for this week's theme. Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Wish I'd taken that.
ReplyDeleteThat's a stunning photograph. Great idea for the pink theme.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot David!
ReplyDeleteYep. Pink enough, but mostly - a great shot!
ReplyDeleteThat's the sort of picture that belongs on the walls of certain homes I've been in, David.
ReplyDeleteYet another beautiful one. No wonder you're the pro.
Breathtaking. It almost makes me want to get out of bed earlier. Almost.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!

Happy Weekend!
I love all the flowers and other submissions that I've seen so far, but the sunset skies are -totally- MY FAVORITE!!! I guess because a beautiful sky, such as that, is something you can look at and philosophize till the sun goes down.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo David.....the pink is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNice picture. Great sunset.
ReplyDeleteMine is called "Pink in Deadwood."
gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful shot. I love the reflections in the water. Enjoy your Saturday.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you stopped to take a photo. Wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'm sure you are working diligently to meet your deadline!
ReplyDeleteDavid, once again, I have to stop and thank you for your beautiful photographs! I know I could do that with each and every one you post, but time doesn't always allow that. However, I just had to take a minute today to thank you once again - all of them are so unique, so beautiful, so intrinsic. Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous photo david. I love all the color. Great pick for the theme.

Early bird catches the worm, er, pinks! The beauty of these colours envelopes me ...

lovely ...sunsets and sunrises are so special...
ReplyDeleteI think the warmth of the pink is felt all over in this picture.
ReplyDelete"And in the end it's only round and round and round" (Us and Them) - reference to the Giant Wheel in the picture. I love Pink Floyd.
Oh my David, can you imagine what life would be like if you were colour blind? These colours are so visually stimulating, they are beautiful - what a shot!
ReplyDeleteThat is simply amazing. I love sunrises and sunsets, and this one is stunning. Great photo. Have a good weekend.
