The Beauty of Sunrise and Sunset

Coolum Beach, 2nd to 5th February

 Our Coolum Beach campsite was just 50m from the water's edge. Just perfect to wake, dress and stroll down to enjoy the dawn light. The peace and serenity we experienced each morning filled me with overflowing joy. I wanted to dance and to sing. The ever changing light, reflections and ebbing and flowing of the waves was mesmerising. 

My photos don't even begin to do it justice, but they do hint at how wonderful it was.

Dawn, day 2.










Dawn, day 3.






Dawn, day 4 with its many moods. 
Thankfully the rain passed well to the north.

 

 




Summer Creek changed its outflow overnight.



Coastal walk day 3.
 

Sunset, day 3. 
On the previous afternoons it was too overcast and windy to sit on the beach.
On our final afternoon, the beach conditions beckoned us. We did not want to leave. 

The fading sun's rays caught the crashing waves, highlighting the spray.











I would love to read your comment.

    The colours of the sunrise shots make it hard to pick a favourite. They make a glorious start to any day.

    I always love your group shot with wine and food. Such a great end to a gorgeous day!

    The wine and cheese is always a bonus of asking my friends along!
    I was fascinated at how the colours kept changing and reflecting.

    Wine, cheese, Italian dry Salami. Food for the gods.

      Ha ha! It was a fabulous cheese board, but I didn't touch the salami.

    Lovely photos. I live in landlocked Kansas USA but love seeing pictures of the sea and yours are spectacular.

      It was incredibly beautiful. We were so lucky with the weather. Horribly hot and steamy at present.

    You could make a number of these into canvasses to beautifully decorate any room!
