Today is officially the first day of the Christmas holidays for me. I set my alarm last night for 5:30am and I managed to get up this morning, so I grabbed my camera and headed down for the sunrise. It’s nice and warm this morning at 24 degrees apparently going to rain later this afternoon. And for all the nerds out there that might be interested, as of last night I have converted this site over to a Jekyll blog hosted on Github pages, which means fast free hosting with version control. Feel free to check out my git repo for this site and raise a pull request ; )

NSW was smashed by a huge storm this week with torrential rain and strong winds. I went down to the beach to take some photos and videos of the aftermath.

Local news reporting on the storm.

People coming to check out the damage

Surfers taking advantage of the waves whipped up by the storm.

No thanks

There used to be a sand bank there until the lagoon overflowed and washed all the sand out to sea.

Try not to swallow any of that water

For some reason I was awake this morning and I noticed a golden glow coming through the window so I grabbed my camera and raced to the roof to take some photos. There was also a double rainbow over the Manly Cricket Oval and I also received a phone call later that morning to find out my nephew had been born, what a day! So I dedicate these photos to my nephew Gabriel.

A new day and a new life is born

There was a large swell in town so I went for a walk down to Deadmans behind Shelly Beach to take some video of the surfers taking on the big waves.
