Exercise with a view, Bondi

This woman stopped on her early morning run long enough to contemplate sunrise over the Pacific Ocean at Bondi. Although in complete shadow now, it would be interesting to spend the day there documenting how the shadow shifts.

Today is City Daily Bloggers' monthly theme day...this month it is Shadows. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

  1. This is a wonderful shot and pose. I wouldn't get much exercising done if I had that to contemplate.

  2. I once had a computer that was Bondi blue. Now I know why it was called that!

    I hope you do spend a day there watching the shadows shift! That would be a very cool project.

  5. Yes, superb interpretation of both, Sal. It would be good to take a photo of Bondi at the same time each week and track the changes.

  11. Serene meditative view Sally. I did that over in Central Coast. Nice to embrace the cold dawn to wait for the sunrise to peep till it fully blossom in the sky.

  12. I'm the same way, I can never work out in a windowless room. That's why I love running.

  20. Very beautiful shot. The silhouette of the women exercising tells a lot about the surrounding.

  24. Hi Sally, beautiful photo and very appealing idea to spend a day documenting how the shadow shifts ... Sam, from daily dose of imagery, once shared a timelapse composite of 100's images showing the shadows and reflections on an office building. He setup his camera on a tripod and set it to automatically take the same photo every 15 minutes during one day.
