Day 115 of 366: The Sunrise Symphony at Werri Beach

Painting the Sky with the First Light

Before the morning had shaken off the embrace of night, I ventured out to the familiar sands of Werri Beach. There's a unique anticipation that fills the air when you chase the sunrise, a sense that you're about to witness the awakening of the world. Today was no different. As I arrived, the darkness began to retreat, chased away by a burgeoning radiance that promised a spectacle.

A Tapestry of Red

The horizon soon became a masterstroke of reds, each shade more passionate than the last. I positioned my gear, knowing well that such moments are transient, as fleeting as they are beautiful. For a breathless 45 minutes, I was in constant motion, my camera capturing the ever-changing tapestry of dawn.

The Aerial Dance

As the sky's fiery passion mellowed to gentler yellows, I released my drone into the morning breeze to capture the seascape from above. There's a rhythm to flying, a dance between pilot and craft, as you seek that perfect angle, that one shot that encapsulates the essence of the moment.

An Unexpected Perspective

Sometimes, the true beauty of a scene isn't revealed until you change your vantage point. Walking up the beach steps, a glance back revealed an unexpected composition — the stairway leading down to the sand, framed by the amber sky. It was an unplanned, unscripted moment that often yields the most remarkable images.

The Journey Home

Returning home with a cache of morning's treasures, the task of sorting through the images awaited. It's a process of rediscovery, where I relive the morning's moments through each frame. Amidst the myriad of sunrise shots, the image taken atop the steps stood out, its simplicity and profound beauty a stark reminder of nature's grandeur.

Reflection and Anticipation

As I conclude the editing process and present this image, it's not just a representation of Day 115 but a piece of a larger puzzle. Each day of this journey adds depth to a year-long narrative of discovery, growth, and a deepened connection with the world around me.
