I’m an introvert — and a morning person –so it’s probably not surprising that getting to my happy place involves a solitary early morning walk, preferably with my camera.
Double points if that walk is by water; triple for a beautiful sunrise to photograph.

Those sunrise photos are amazing. I love the sunrise. It’s what gives me the incentive to get up at an ungodly hour to row. Really love that misty walk also.

Not sure I love sunrise THAT much. I remain grateful that the boy-child didn’t decide to row or swim competitively. I think we would have fallen out very quickly about having to get out of bed early. Sunrise is my luxury — not an everyday experience. 🙂

Thank you. Auckland is a lovely city; an isthmus between two very different harbours. I feel very privileged to live so close to the sea.

Thank you so much Lucile. I’ve just spent an hour sitting in rush-hour traffic this morning, and am trying to figure out how I can sneak off to the beach to restore myself. 🙂
