Description

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!

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

Great Job! -Laura :) #11034491
