Byron Bay Sunrise
Uploaded: July 19, 2015 13:21:14 | Entered: July 19, 2015 13:22:18
Pretty near every morning of the year, you will find the local surfers and board riders checking out the sea at sunrise. This could be a scene from anywhere along the east coast of Australia, but it was actually taken from the beach at Byron Bay. This location is a mecca for the surfing fraternity, and I took this shot around about 15 minutes after sunrise.

A marvelous moment-in-time capture, John. I think morning surfers are drawn to places like this, not only for the perfect wave (with less competition), but also for the special light and atmosphere that surrounds them. Your photo shows that so well... #11333669Gord MacEachern July 19, 2015
