I have learnt a new word today:
ev·a·nes·cent (adjective) – “Soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing.”
The rapidly changing colours before dawn seem perfect for this word. Here are some Hobart sunrises that I have snapped this month.
These 2 photos are 8 minutes apart.
This is an original photo, no editing. Followed by a “cold tone” edit which I think highlights the actual sun rays.
Here’s to a brand new day, new hopes, new opportunities. Wishing everyone a good day.

Much of Tasmania’s heritage dates back to European settlement. These three bridges were all built by convict labour.
Richmond Bridge
Built in 1823 it is the oldest bridge in use in Australia.
The Red Bridge, Campbell Town
Built in 1838, constructed of hand made red bricks. This bridge on the Midland Highway now carries two million vehicles each year.
Spiky Bridge
Built in 1843, it is no longer in use, located a few meters from the East Coast Road.
But such a spectacular design. Some say the vertical stones were to prevent cattle falling over the side. Others claim it was convict rebellion against their supervisors.
