Nearly every day the sunrise and sunset is a marvellous sight and experience. This is 'first light' over Rowes Bay, Townsville.
Later the same morning, 'sun-up' at the same vantage point.
One hour drive north of Townsville is the town of Lucinda, probably best known for the sugar wharf, shown here, that stretches to infinity. The island in the far background is Pelorus Island.
It had been a glorious day here at Hervey Bay, I thought I would venture to Point Vernon and view the sunset. There were people relaxing in the tranquillity of the atmosphere. Some were just sitting and looking about.
Others were a little more physical and trying a to catch fish. These little boys were with their parents (out of sight in this picture) and had just run an errand to the tackle box for Dad.
This was the sunset that I waited for. There are no clouds to pattern the sky but there were small bush fires close by and there was smoke haze that created the 'all over' effect of this shot.
