Trip the Light Fantastic

Early morning (yes you read the right – I actually got out of bed) and I wonder why I haven’t done so more often. By chance took a trip down Back Beach, with the dog to await the rising sun. Only to find a full moon setting across the sea as the sun was just coming up back over my right shoulder.

It was quite dark and the first rays of light were peering from right of picture. The moon lit the sea with a spectacular moonbeam.

This will be the first of three great images I took this morning.
