Macquarie Lighthouse, Old South Head Rd Vaucluse NSW
Shameful to say, there are many parts of Sydney that I haven't visited or don't know very well. I've been using my PAD to get to some of them. On this occasion I decided to go to South Head, the southern entrance to Sydney Harbour. The intention was to get a shot of sunrise over the heads, marking the beginning of a new year.
I didn't quite make it there because looking out of my window as I drove along Old South Head Road I saw this sight and knew that it was the right one for me. It was the perfect shot for a theme of "new beginnings".
I therefore found a parking spot and pulled out the camera gear.
Macquarie Lighthouse marks the site of the oldest continuously operating navigational beacon in Australia. A flagstaff was erected here in 1791, not long after the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. This was replaced by a coal fired beacon in 1793, and a lighthouse, designed by convict architect Francis Greenway, in 1816 at the request of Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Greenway warned that the lighthouse was going to have problems because of the quality of the sandstone used and he was right; by 1881 construction began on a new lighthouse (this one) using the same design as the old one but better materials. It was finished in 1883 and has been operating ever since.
At this time last year I didn't even know of the existence of this lighthouse. And certainly discovering it unexpectedly changed the way I thought I was heading. Funny how life can turn out that way.
(Incidentally, the only visible object in the sky beside the crescent moon and the glow of the new year's dawn is Venus, off to the left.)
As I stood on the promenade at sunrise, the first light began to paint the horizon with soft golds and pinks, gently illuminating the water below. It was a moment of pure tranquility—a quiet pause before the bustle of the day. Simultaneously, the image itself captures this interplay of nature and urban life. Warm hues blend into the sky as subtle reflections dance on the water, and the promenade frames the scene.
At dawn, as the light gently brushes the dunes of De Slufter, a flock of eiders cuts across the still morning sky. A typical early scene on Texel, where each sunrise feels timeless in the heart of the Wadden.

"Nestled in the lush landscapes of Johor, Malaysia, Semangar is a serene and picturesque area known for its rolling greenery, misty mornings, and breathtaking sunrises. This tranquil region, surrounded by dense forests and palm plantations, offers a glimpse into nature’s quiet beauty. Capturing the golden hues of dawn over Semangar, this photo reflects the peaceful charm of rural Malaysia."
A regal lioness rests atop a dam wall at dawn, her gaze steady and powerful beneath a sky painted with dramatic clouds. A soft touch of morning light highlights her features, casting a golden glow against the moody backdrop. The perfect blend of strength and serenity in the wild.
As the first light of day breaks across the water, a soft mist rises, veiling the Lake Frank Jackson in quiet mystery. The trees, mirrored perfectly in the still surface, seem to float in another world. Captured just after dawn using exposure bracketing, this photograph embraces the beauty of calm, the warmth of sunrise, and the magic found in fleeting moments of stillness.
Bathed in the soft glow of early morning light, these train tracks stretch into the distance beneath a brooding sky. The surrounding trees, touched with the colors of late autumn, frame the scene in quiet stillness. A sense of solitude and anticipation fills the air — a tranquil yet powerful reminder of movement, change, and the promise of a new day.
