Time To Pretend

About

The last sunrise of 2008!

Taken at Burleigh Heads, Queensland.

This was the first time for me there and Lance. It’s a sweet spot and looks fantastic for Sunset also.

Climbing down to the the rocks is a little tricky though, rather slippery but no match for my Keen’s! I was sitting on a rock when I took this. The interesting thing is the surfers – they just jump across the rocks in bare feet! There was a large group of them later in the surf with an purple flare – I assume to signal the end of 2008!
