SURFERS OBSERVE THE WAVES AT SUNRISE IN SYDNEY
Surfers gather at Sydneys Manly Beach to check on surf conditions during a colourful sunrise on January 10, 2004. The very red sunrise is due in part to smoke from a number of bushfires burning close to Sydney overnight, the containment of which has required hundreds of firefighters.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tim Wimborne, surfers are seen gathering at Manly Beach in Sydney to observe the waves during a breathtaking sunrise. The date is January 10,2004, and what makes this particular sunrise so striking is the vibrant red hue that fills the sky. This intense coloration can be attributed to smoke emanating from nearby bushfires that had plagued Sydney overnight. The containment of these fires required the tireless efforts of hundreds of firefighters. As the sun begins to rise over the horizon, casting its warm glow upon both land and sea, a sense of tranquility envelops Manly Beach. Surfers stand along the shoreline, their silhouettes beautifully outlined against nature's fiery canvas. With their eyes fixed on the rolling waves ahead, they patiently await their opportunity to ride them with grace and skill. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how nature's elements intertwine with human pursuits. Despite facing adversity in the form of bushfires threatening their beloved coastline, these dedicated surfers remain undeterred in their quest for adventure and connection with the ocean. Tim Wimborne's lens has perfectly encapsulated this momentous scene – one where resilience meets beauty amidst challenging circumstances. It stands as a testament not only to Australia's awe-inspiring landscapes but also to humanity's unwavering spirit when faced with adversity.
