Saturday, July 11 - Brisbane River walk
I am quite often awake from 3 am onwards. On Saturday, I realised by 4.30 am that I was definitely not going back to sleep. There was nothing on my calendar until 5pm. In need of a good walk, I decided to head for the city and catch sunrise. I just love that I can now make these spur-of-the-moment decisions with no traffic to delay me.
Arrival - 5.49 am
6.16 am
The Botanical Gardens - stunning hibiscus.
6.30 am
Just amazing that 360 people have already crossed the Kangaroo Cliff Bridge this early.
7 am
A perfect start to the morning, on what turned out to be quite a hectic day.
There has been precious little time to read my favourite blogs, as I have a project with a deadline. There are too many city events interrupting my schedule. I will get back to reading them.
I would love to read your comments.
ohh wonderful and beautiful flowers...kiss, Andreja!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The hibiscus were stunning.
DeleteNice predawn shots of the bridge lights. Love the sunrise - definitely worth getting up early for!
ReplyDeleteA very special morning enjoyed.
DeleteGorgeous captures, dear Helen.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Our city is rather lovely at this time of day.
DeleteYour early morning hours in the city look amazing! My downtown walkways would be a scary unsafe place to be at that hour of the morning!
ReplyDeleteAlexandra, I just googled our cities. Brisbane has an 88% lower population density. Could be why I feel quite safe out and about.
DeleteJust wanted to leave a quick note to say thank you for this fantastic article!
ReplyDeleteYour early start was richly rewarded! First the blue hour photos, then the gorgeous sunrise. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful start to the day, Peter. One to be repeated and living so close now, can be.
DeleteThe early sunrise pictures of city life are beautiful. Sunset shots are full of people but it looks like you had the world all to yourself. That had to be an unusual feeling - solitude in a city.

Jeannie I love your thought - 'solitude in the city'. In fact, by the time I had completed my quiet circuit, all the joggers and Park Run excercises were filling in the footpaths.
DeleteI am sorry that you are plagued with insomnia, but you certainly got some gorgeous pre-dawn photos from your excursion.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim. At present the early awakening is helping me to get my book project nearing completion.
