Chilly mornings and clear air are trademarks of Winter's in Sydney and the combination creates a beautiful purple gradient in the pre-dawn sky.  With the Sun as far North in the sky as it's going to get the light's a little softer - it's one of my favourite times of year to shoot in the water. The rain's gone and the swell is fading but there was still a couple of 2 footers hitting Queensie at first light.  Might get better as the tide pushing through this morning.
