Gilded Light

One of the main reasons I shoot daily is capturing the golden light that seeps over Ben Buckler in the mornings. I love it. It’s very flattering light, making the mundane into something appealing.

When it’s been raining or cloudy for 85% of the mornings this year, these sunny mornings are a treat! Let’s party!

I might also add the ocean water looks much cleaner today. On the Aquabumps non-scientific ratings, I’d say 50% cleaner than yesterday. Maybe that light offshore wind is pushing all the brown floodwaters contaminate offshore? I truly hope so. 

The surf is smaller yet cleaner and organised. I saw waves in the chest to head high vicinity. Crowds are low, and the water remains warm (23-24).
