I went down to the beach before sunrise today. I love walking through the avenue of toetoe / pampas (I think it's pampas, but I can't tell the difference).

A grassy track through tall plant spears with white fronds at the top.

There was just enough light to shine on the water.

A small bright spot of water in an otherwise datk landscape with pale blue and orange sky between clouds.

And the river wound golden across the sand.

A yellow ribbon of river winds through a darker beach landscape as the sun starts to light a partly cloudy sky with orange.
