The forecast is for no rain, but a bit cloudy at dawn above Sydney’s Bronte Beach (I’ve put the sheets in the wash for a line dry as the weekend is looking damp).

A simple dawn urban silhouette in Sydney’s Surry Hills. Lines and angles, antennas and sewer vents, some foliage and a glinting cloud.

Net zero by 2050 is a good idea for Australia—probably one of the best long-term economic and strategic opportunities the country has—provided we execute it smartly.

I wonder if the Liberals have bothered to do some reading? I’ll bet they keep net zero, but dump a timeline i.e. in reality they’ll walk away entirely

The Liberal shadow ministry has agreed to dump net zero by 2050 from the party’s platform. Here's what that term actually means.

Checking in on the continuing rehabilitation of the mangroves at Woolooware Bay on Botany Bay on a crepuscular ray Sydney dawn.

Ahhhhhhh! So this is why the fossil fuel fans are hyperventilating about net zero. The writing is on the wall.
NEW data | Less than 50% of Australia's electricity generation came from fossil fuels in October 🇦🇺⚡️ This was the first month ever where renewables have overtaken fossil fuels in Australia's electricity mix. 10 years ago, in October 2015, fossil fuels made up 86%.

On a cool morning ahead of a beautiful warm spring Sydney day, I’ve made my way to La Perouse. This is the bridge across to Bare Island and affords a great view of the opening to Botany Bay and dawn yellows.

I have an appointment at St Vincent’s (just a check up, nothing scary), dropped off wife at work, daughter at her work, and running early. So went to Elizabeth Bay and saw some bull shark burly.

I spend a lot of time in the shadows, stalking out a sleeping city, being places usually teeming with people, but empty for me. Sunrises are fine, but painting a scene with scant urban lights tickles my brain.

Out at stupid o’clock again I find myself at Balmain. Once a slum, now housing here unaffordable to most people. And also the bedroom to some of the Sydney Harbour Ferry Fleet.

Before the sunrise, before the showers, before the possible thunderstorm…. The old brick works at Sydney’s St Peters stands still as the clouds race by.

Ruby (the staffy cross) is behind my resting in the long grasses while I get some vitamin D sitting in Wimbo Park, Surry Hills.

Nestled in the south west corner of Sydney’s Centennial Park is a great spot to grab a sunrise at this time of year.

I know I spend too much time at Bronte’s ocean pool. It is such a photogenic part of Sydney, even on a cool and cloudy dawn, it calls me and those fit folk who put in the laps.
