And so it is...

...just like you said it would be.

This image forms part of the mystical series of photographs which involves getting up well before dawn, driving to an unknown location, jumping at least one barbed wire fence and ducking and weaving to avoid shotgun pellets in order to gawk in awe at the sunrise. This image is also part of a stream of stunning (writer's bias in effect) landscape/waterscape scenery shots taken by members of the highly controversial, and as yet unestablished, Fotographic Fencehoppers Association (FFA), a subsidiary of The Lysdexic Foundation (in association with the Poeple Woh Don't Splel Good).

If you'd care to join this imaginary club, please let me know so that I may pass on your personal details to the US government which, since the dawn of time, it would appear, if their press releases are accurate, has been keeping the world free from nutjobs, thus making the planet and all the way to the outer limits of the universe we know a safer and more economically stable powderkeg (giving off sparks...giving off sparks...I really need you tonight...). I think I went star trekking there. Let's tug on the tether and see what results...As a bonus during the month of Movember, before you can claim to know your elbow from your cushy buttcheeks, you'll receive unwanted pamphlets in your letterbox care of FFA. As you can see, it's win-win and you should act now by sending me your details. Money is optional; blank cheques are fully tax deductible if you believe everything you read..

More banter, this time about the actual photo...This is the first in the latest series of sunrise captures Dachimas and I took two, maybe three, weekends ago. It's a 40-second exposure. We fanged it ever so carefully through the darkness, mist and fog in order to discover this hyar locale. For enthusiasts of geography, this is part of the series of waterways near the mouth of the Murray River at the Goolwa-Coorong end (south-western corner of SA).

Enjoy the rest of the series and let me know about any thoughts that creep across your brow.

Ooroo.
