A very pleasant dawn over the camping ground in Boulia, outback Queensland. Best viewed on black.

The light coloured area toward the horizon is the Bilpa Morea Claypan, apparently the world's largest claypan. Best viewed large. The light aircraft is still heading north as the sun rises (see the PiP for an image a few minutes earlier).

The Diamantina River is one of the major (usually not flowing) rivers of outback Queensland, eventually finding its way to Lake Eyre. Taken on the light aircraft dawn flight from Birdsville.with some light rain showers in the distance as the sun rises.

On the dawn flight in the Cessna, heading out of Birdsville and past the Birdsville Racecourse at about 1500 ft. The annual race meeting is a major outback event. That's the Diamantina River (also in the PiP).

Sunrise over the harbour in Kiama, New South Wales. Just so I can verify that I do (occasionally) rise early. :-) Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend to follow.

The first rays of sunlight hitting the buildings in Sydney, at the start of my travels. I'm now back again.

Early morning sunlight on incoming surf. Looks best viewed large. Yes, there's a bench near the foreground pedestrian. Happy Bench Monday, everyone.

Far from my Norway series, in the past few days the "big event" for our little town was the arrival of a 3300 tonne barge which will assist with the construction of a large new concrete bridge to replace our current lifting bridge, AFAIK the last such operating in Australia. The barge had to be brought across the Clyde River bar at high tide (about 0300 that day) then under the current bridge at first light. The barge is about half the size of a football field and had well below a metre of clearance from the pylons on either side! View large on black. Explored.

Heading upward with rays of dawn sunlight (and a little lens flare). Best viewed large, maybe while listening to this track. I shall be away travelling for most of the next week and expect to have only limited and intermittent internet. Best wishes to all.

Early morning light on the misty Southern Tablelands. Music link here. Try viewing large. HFF! Explored.

Foggy dawn light over a farm dam on the chilly tablelands. Best viewed large. HFF

Dawn breaking over the bush around the camping area at Lake Mungo National Park in western NSW, Australia.

Sunrises usually are at the wrong end of the day for me. :) Maybe view on black? Explored.

From an old slide, taken not long after arrival. That's a slightly younger (and slightly out of focus) me standing near the old meteorological office (at that stage used as a store), with new supply boxes still strewn around. This was taken very early in the morning, with the first light colouring the thin cloud and an impressive wall of drifting snow in the distance beyond the Casey Range (itself some 30km away). The scene here is almost identical to that largely blotted out by drifting snow in the earlier "blizzard" shot.

Daybreak adding colour to the mist and fog over Lake Albert - and some pelicans chasing breakfast. (Probably best viewed on black - press 'Z')

A Red Wattlebird ( Anthrochaera carunculata ) interrupted from its feast on nectar from the gum blossoms. The name is for the red wattles hanging just below where the ears should be. Tokina RMC 200/3.5 .

As dawn arrived over the lakes, intermittent fog and mist rolled past. (Suggest view on black).
