A Boy on a Rock!
A Boy on a Rock!
I found this lad watching the sunrise at Brunswick Heads break-wall, on one of my early morning walks. It was about 15 minutes after sunrise. This is where the Brunswick River meets the Pacific Ocean.
Captured at 1/30th f16.0 and ISO-320.
I wish all my Aussie and New Zealand friends a very Happy ANZAC Day!

  Beautiful image, which actually fits the spirit of the ANZAC. Lovely colours in the sunrise. Lest we forget our soldiers who represented us in the World Wars, John, and every war.

  Lots of folks get up for sunrise there. :D I think this is what the ocean does to people. :) It just feels right.

What a neat image capturing a moment in his life that can now live on forever.

Great Job! -Laura :)
