This mornings Sunrise ( 20 / 12 / 2011 ). It was phenomenal. Taken at the Gold Coast Spit, QLD Australia.
I originally intended to take some pics at the marina, a long exposure Pano, but due to the offshore wind i bailed on that idea to chase the sunrise. So i was screaming along Seaworld Drive up to the Spit once i had made my mind up. Jumped out of the car as i noticed the sky cover, and bolted up the sand dunes to witness this amazing Sunrise. At about 4:30a.m , only a couple of people around also capturing the sunrise, what an awesome way to start the day. The best sunrise i have seen in months, stoked to be alive and living in this paradise.
