The sun usually manages to rise without me, but an early start this morning rewarded me with this through my kitchen window. Confirmation that I have the 'camera bug' - I went outside and climbed a wattle tree to get this and 25 other shots :) I wanted more of the sea visible but this was as high as I dared go.. .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

Climbing a tree almost before sunrise with a camera and then 25 shots? hmmm - take two aspirins and wash your face with ice cold water to get rid of the bug - just kidding - from what I see it was worth the trouble. very beautiful colours.

Living in Paradise would certainly contribute to getting the "camera bug" and wanting to share the results with us because you live in a very beautiful place. The sunrise is gorgeous.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"
