Blusher 2......

The early morning wander through the dunes of Rebecca Beach, Temma, West coast Tasmania (Australias island state) revealed this blood red sunrise over Rebecca Lagoon. So ….with little time to really construct an image, one was forced to fire away at the awesome reflection provided.
This coast of Tassy is renowned for classic, vibrant sunrises and sets, so be prepared to get up early, especially at this time of year…..
