After 10 adrenalin pumped days of biting cold in the snow covered climes of Ladakh, I was beginning to feel the pangs of separation on my flight back.

Manly Beach is one of the most idyllic locations in Australia, overflowing with crowds of surfers, families and tourists in summer. Winter is a different story though. Down to the beach before sunrise for this shot, it was just me and the morning joggers. It was even too cold for the surfers. Totally worth it though, to be able to witness an amazing sunrise at one of the most amazing places in the country. This is what makes those cold, early mornings worth it.
