Perfect Morning
06th October 2009
Imagine this: walking barefoot along the beach, the sun on your back as the waves come crashing in. The surfers are bobbing around, making the most of their ocean playground before going to work. It’s October and you have nothing on your mind but what to have for breakfast.
That was my reality this morning, strolling along the beach at Surfer’s Paradise. Add to that a sighting of whales playing about 200 metres offshore and you’ll appreciate that it was an amazing start to the day.
I’ve been on the Gold Coast for the weekend, in the role of official photographer for TC, Fox and Marto as they took part in the half-ironman triathlon (2km swim, 90km cycle and 21km run) under the Queensland sun.
It’s the first sporting event I’ve been to in a long time where I haven’t been working and I loved it. It was made even better by the fact that they all made it to the finish line in one piece and there were no unscheduled trips to the hospital.
