Morning Glory

I think I'm becoming a morning person!! (It's scary I know!) but only when I have to go out and do a sunrise shoot! :P

Went out again this morning... this is the 3rd time in just over a week!! this time though, went by myself. I suprised myself in actually being able to drag myself out of bed!!

This morning went down to Bradley's Head down by Taronga Zoo (where Bec and Lleyton had their little soiree last week). What a glorious morning!! I didn't really see the sunrise (was facing towards the city) but it was just awesome being alone, watching the sky unfold and slowly light up, enjoying the beautiful city we live in.

It was truly wonderful standing in the cold breeze, all rugged up in kathmandu jacket and beanie, listening to "You alone" on my ipod and just singing praises to God. Singing at the top of my voice, not having to be worried about waking up any neighbours (cos there are none!!!)

It was simply glorious!!!

After shooting all my film, went for a drive in search of other sites for future shoots. Drove down to Clifton Gardens, and then to Middle Head. There are some awesome views over there, and some excellent walking tracks. Must get a group and go on a walk one of these days. Which reminds me, I have yet to do the Manly to the Spit walk which I was supposed to do last year. Hmm...

My heart sings with the morning. :)

Another AWESOME hymn of praise....

Glorious things of Thee are Spoken
~ John Newton ~

Glorious things of thee are spoken
Zion city of our God
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode
On the Rock of Ages founded
What can shake thy sure repose
With salvation's walls surrounded
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes

See the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage
Grace which like the Lord the Giver
Never fails from age to age

Round each habitation hov'ring
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring
Showing that the Lord is near
Thus they march the pillar leading
Light by night and shade by day
Daily on the manna feeding
Which He gives them when they pray

Savior since of Zion's city
I thro' grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in Thy name
Fading is the world's best pleasure
All its boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasures
None but Zion's children know
