Scorcher

December 20, 2017

Morning my friends,

Today was a scorcher, 27 degrees at sunrise with not much air...

I went down the beach with my daughter, bumped into a lot of our friends, went for a quick swim while Uge looked after Charlotte (thank you very much mate!) It was too hot out there not to go for a dip...

Get ready Sydney, it's going to rise up to 35 degrees today!!

Chat to you tomorrow as always,

Amaury

It's gonna be a busy for lifeguards today...

The sexiest babysitter in town. Let me know if you want his number. (PS: Charlotte not impressed!)

Before six

December 19, 2017

Morning my friends,

This morning I woke-up before my 5:20am alarm clock so decided to get out of bed and head down to the beach.

The first lights were incredible but I was still at home. However, I was down there for 5:40am sunrise. So early these days!!

All the photos below have been taken before 6am and I think I did well by doing so as after our jungle gym session in North Bondi the light was gone, covered by the clouds.

Have a fantastic day my friends,

Ciao!

10 minutes

December 18, 2017

Morning my friends,

Hope all you had a great weekend. Except Friday night where I was out, mine was very relaxing.

After spending a month here, today is Magnus last day in Sydney. So we decided to go for a sunrise swim, photos and coffee with the rest of the gang.

We did well as the light only lasted 10 minutes and that were the 10 minutes when we were in the water. Perfect timing!

Have a safe trip back home and enjoy the winter in Copenhagen. Grrrr....

Give him a follow guys, he's on a mission to crack the 1,000 followers before the new year: @MagnusOmme I told him that I would help out!

Chat to you tomorrow,

Amaury

When you realise it's your last Morning Bondi session for a little while...

#BOOM!

December 14, 2017

Morning my friends,

What a stunning morning down there! The light, the temperatures and the number of people around were insane...

We went to the jungle gym with my mate Paul. God, it's hard to get back to it after more than 2 weeks without training.

Have a fantastic day, it's going to be a hot one,

Amaury

PS: My apologies for the delay in getting this post up but early meeting

Ten

December 13, 2017

Morning my friends,

Today was ten out of ten and to celebrate this amazing morning, here are ten photos for you to look at...

I spent most of my morning with Magnus and bumped into a few mates. We went for coffee, photos and swim as we always do really.

Have a cracking day my friends,

Amaury

B2B

December 12, 2017

Morning peeps,

I'm Back 2 Bondi (B2B) and it feels damn good... Don't get me wrong Sri Lanka was just incredible but glad to be back to my routine.

I definitely recommend Sri Lanka if you haven't been there - it's just great, people are lovely, the wildlife is incredible and not that many tourists yet. It's also pretty cheap! Renting a surfboard for an hour. How much? $1.5 You can't beat this!!

While I was away, I had the chance to get featured on Mountain Active's blog. What is Mountain Active? Pretty cool watches, Australian designed. Go and check it out here. Pretending to be a model is not that easy. Thanks to my mate @MagnusOmme for making me look alright!

This morning, no exercise, just coffee with my mates, photos and swim...

I guess that's it for today...

Have a great week and chat tomorrow,

Amaury

PS: I missed you a little too...

Summer

December 1, 2017

Morning my friends,

What an amazing start of Summer! It could have hardly started better than this...

The sunrise was a cracker, the temperatures inside and outside the water were delicious and heaps of happy people all around.

We went for a run up to Bronte with my mate Bertie and I stopped along the way to take a few photos. Thanks again to my friends from Olympus for making SLRs so lightweight and compact!

I guess that's it for today, unless you haven't seen my Instagram post from last night. I'm proud to announce that Morning Bondi is now represented by blinq.art the coolest gallery in town (top floor of Westfield Bondi Junction). Thanks to the fine team at blinq.art and to all of you guys for your daily support. I can't thank you enough for making this possible. Read more about it here and head to blinq.art website to see the rest of the photos here.

You guys rock!

Big Love,

Amaury

PS: I'm off to Sri Lanka today for the next 10 days (first holidays in a year, much needed) so don't expect any updates for a little while. If you fancy, you can follow my whole journey on my personal Instagram @AmauryTreguer Stay safe and chat to you on my return!

By the far the best way to finish a run, straight in the water

Thursdhaze

November 30, 2017

Morning my friend,

What's the day today? It's Thursdhaze. What a magnificent morning! How to finish Spring on a high... I reckon it's probably the best morning that we had this season. It's going to be hard to beat a morning like this.

We went to the jungle gym for our (stupid) 15 minutes challenge. Basically you end-up smashing: 50 chin-ups/pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 abs and a bit of high intensity running. After a good sweat, coffee, photos and swim.

Today, I got a bit excited and came home with 8 gigs of photos. Not cool for the selection and editing. Here are 14 of them...

Ciao!

Amaury

Fav photo of the day. Which one is yours?

One wave, 100's surfers - sharing is caring!

Window

November 29, 2017

Morning peeps,

After a pretty hectic night with not much sleep, I ventured down the beach slightly later than usual.

I just went for coffee, photos and swim, all by myself which is quite rare these days. I usually always have at least one mate with me - not today! ;(

It was pretty grey when I arrived around 6:30am but then between 6:45-6:55am, we had a quick window of bright sunshine, that's pretty much when I took most of my photos this morning.

Now it's back to grey and about to rain...

Have a good one my friends,

Amaury

Nah my lens was not dirty... just the morning mist

Beach Day

November 28, 2017

Morning my friends,

What a cracker of a morning! Today was just spectacular: sunny, warm and beautiful. The perfect beach day!

Chuck a sickie or go for an afterwork swim if you can...

Today is all about boys, I reckon I never featured that many photos of dudes in one album - probably a bit too much actually. What do you reckon? Would you rather have girls in their bikinis? (I would)

Anyway, here are the photos, enjoy my friends and chat to you tomorrow,

Amaury

Richy not too sure about the water temperature - Fair enough, it's a bit cold at the moment.

Light show

November 21, 2017

Morning my friends,

This morning the light was amazing but unfortunately it only lasted 10 minutes... Lucky I had my camera with me so I capture it all.

Hope you had a great morning.

Here are the photos...

Chat to you tomorrow,

Amaury

All smile for Magnus (it was a lot more grey but I was playing with bracketing)

Moody Monday

November 20, 2017

Morning my friends,

After a bloody Sunday comes a moody Monday...

The only bit of sunshine was quite unexpected but I made the most of it and took all my photos at that time - quite efficient if you ask me.

Have a lovely week my friends and chat to you tomorrow,

Cheers!

Amaury

Surprise surprise

November 17, 2017

Morning peeps,

What a pleasant surprise! The weather forecast was saying 90% chance of rain this morning, instead we had the 10% chances of bright sunshine. #Winning!

I went down the beach to join my mates Bruno and Magnus (yes, Magnus is back in town for the month) and we went for a walk, photos and swim.

So good to start your day like this...

Have a lovely Friday and a cracking weekend my friends!

Ciao!

Morning my friends,

Another day, another beautiful day down in Paradise...

Once again, I went down the beach with my daughter. Do I like it? Yes I do! (except when she decides to cry for no reason) It's kind of an extra challenge, as if taking decent photos was not challenging enough... Anyway, enough complaining, here are the photos my friends.

Enjoy and if you like them feel free to share them with your friends, they definitely deserve to see them.

A demain,

Amaury

Drone? No! Chopper? No! Seagull? No Promenade? Yes!

Early birds

November 15, 2017

Morning my friends,

Hope you all had a good night sleep or a great day for my overseas friends.

Today was pretty amazing down there, heaps of people around. You can tell that summer is around the corner, people are exercising hard to get their bodies in shape, clubbies are training for summer rescues and there were heaps of swimmers around.

This morning, I was with my daughter and we bumped into the usual suspects, the early birds, people like me who love to enjoy the early hours of the day. Everyday of the year, they can't start their day without heading to the beach.

Ciao!

The wait.

November 13, 2017

Morning guys,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Today was not bad at all but I arrived late and therefore I had to wait at least 30 minutes for the sun to rise over the clouds. While waiting, I was playing with my daughter around the Icebergs.

But trust me it was well worth it, when the sun popped, it was just incredible! #BOOM!

Have a great week my friends,

Amaury

Yew!

November 10, 2017

Morning my friends,

Yew, it's Friday and waves are in town... as well as 100's of surfers! The sunrise was a cracker and I was in time to witness it, not like yesterday.

This morning, no exercise, just the best bits: photos, coffee and swim. Love this routine!

Have a beautiful Friday and a cracking weekend!

Ciao!

50 shades of blue

November 8, 2017

Morning my friends,

Hope you are all well and for the ones living in Australia that you had a great Melbourne Cup.

This morning was pretty amazing down the beach with a lot of tints of blue. I arrived later than usual as Charlotte decided to wake-up early and I took her with me. Time to get ready and all that - OMG when I thought that my wife was taking ages to get ready, my 21 month old daughter is even worst! ;)

With not much sleep, we ventured down the coffee shop, had my usual large long black with dash of cold milk (much needed after 4 hours of sleep), caught-up with my mate Bruno and took photos between Morning Bondi HQ (the platform above the toilets South Bondi - so chic so glam!) and the Icebergs.

Here are the photos, hope you like them - even if you don't, share them around for the effort.

Cheers!

Amaury

Unexpected

November 7, 2017

Morning my friends,

Today was finally sunny after almost a week of grey sky. To be honest it was pretty unexpected, it all started pretty grey with some heavy clouds but then the sun decided to pop up and it turns out to be a pretty amazing morning.

My apologies for the radio silence of last week but it was pretty hectic with the little one and not very inspiring anyway.

Here are a few photos for you to look at. Hope you like them.

Have fun today and chat to you tomorrow,

Ciao!

Le Lundi au soleil

October 30, 2017

Morning my friends,

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Mine was pretty good. Spent the whole weekend outside between the ocean, the Icebergs and Centennial Park. Summer is definitely around the corner...

It's currently 26 degrees and it's going to rise up to 30 degrees around 3pm and at 7pm down to 21 degrees and stormy... Enjoy while you can...

This morning I went down the beach with Charlotte, caught-up with my mate Bruno and Francky (who is back for only 2 weeks from his amazing Under the Pole expedition.) So good to see him around here!

Have a great week my friends and chat to you tomorrow as always,

Amaury

PS: For the ones that wonder what 'Le Lundi au soleil' means it's French for 'Monday under the sun' and also a famous song by Claude François alias Cloclo for the intimate.

Les archives. Another day, another rainy day… As I could see it was not raining, I ventured down much later than usual, around 6:45 am. I just arrived and a light drizzle started. What are the chances?! I joined my mates for a quick dip in the ocean and coffee at Chapter One (my unofficial gallery, they have five of my prints on the wall). Still worth going out, if you ask me… Have a great day my friends and stay warm as it’s a bit nippy at the moment. Ciao, Amo PS: I’m going camping this weekend with a bunch of mates but pretty sure I don’t have the right equipment to cope with the cold. I only have a summer sleeping bag… It’s going to be fun, they say. 🤦🏽‍♂️🥶

Rainy days. Do you know what rainy days mean? It means archive days. Here are photos from the past couple of months, most of them were my second favourite ones so you wouldn’t have seen them before. As you know, I love doing my Morning Bondi routine but it actually takes so much time. I’m talking about the photo bit especially. At the moment, I take photos from 6:30ish when the sun is up for roughly 30-40 minutes, then selection of the good photos for 20 mins, light edit the best ones for 10 mins, then write the morning blurb for 3-5 mins (I tend not to overthink this, as you can tell), then upload of each individual photos on the blog for 10 minutes, then newsletter for 5 minutes, then Instagram for 3 minutes, Facebook 3 minutes and Instagram Story 3 minutes. Basically, around 1.5 hours on average. So yes sometimes, I’m glad when it’s raining as I’m saving so much time. Have a beautiful day, despite the weather, and chat with you tomorrow, Xoxo Amo

Golden Sea. Slow start this morning, it was pretty average unless you could wait up to 8am (I couldn’t) to see the sun popping out behind the curtain of clouds. It was all about the golden reflection of the hidden sun on the water. Gold 24-carat for a few minutes. I don’t have much to tell you today except that if you live locally and love ‘Shark Tank’ TV show, you will love the local version of it. It’s called the Bondi Innovation Shark Tank organised by the @bondichamber and it’s next Wednesday at @hotelravesis You can find all the deets in the media release and book your tickets on the blog. I’m going with my awesome business partner Mary Proulx and supporting Sam Cust, one of the sharks (I think that’s what we call them). If you come down, let’s have a beer and break bread (what I love the most about our business name is that the puns are endless). I loaf you! (see) Amo

Nothing to worry about, it's just a tornado off North Bondi, ... 🌪️😲 I took this photo this morning around 9:30 am. I was shooting with @versefinejewellery in South Bondi when we saw this waterspout tornado coming out of nowhere. Scary much? Look closely and you can see the person around Ben Buckler's cliffs running for his life... That's all folks!

Pure Heaven. What another beautiful start to the day! While yesterday was all about big waves, today was all about the mad reflo on the sand - absolutely stunning. I was sitting just next to Morning Bondi HQ and was snapping like a maniac. Have a cracking weekend and subscribe to the newsletter if you want to see the photos earlier in the day - new Morning Bondi formula. ;) Xoxo Amo

Bombastic. OMG, what an incredible morning! It's a very late update as I had a pretty busy day and didn't have a chance to post before now. The newsletter was out around 10am though, so subscribe to it if you want to see the photos before everyone else. It was honestly one of the best mornings we've had for a little while. The light, the waves and the surfers braving the waves. Xoxo Amo

Low-tide goodness. What a stunning morning! Today was all about the low-tide gold reflection. It was just the perfect conditions for photos. The problem, only a few people out including two metal hunters. I was with fellow Frenchy @dianeperreau all morning. I reckon she’s the most popular French person in Sydney. So many people are stopping her every morning to have a chat and take a selfie with her. Have a lovely day my friends, Ciao, Amo

Into the wild. What a cracker of a morning! For a change of scenery, I ventured down to Bronte this morning. I reckon I made the right choice, it was just an incredible show. I was with my mate @paolocattaneophoto for the entire morning and we were just looking at the waves rolling in. Bronte Pool was the best place in da house. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen the very rare video of me talking to the camera. With @bread_agency, my agency, I recently started working with the team from @in2thewild.aus, the best tiny houses business around. In order to have a better understanding of the experience, the client kindly invited me to go for a couple of days with my wife and daughter. Real legends, best onboarding! The whole experience was amazing - especially for someone like me that is pretty hyperactive. I just ‘re-wilded’ for two days. Even though the network was working where we were, I put my phone in airplane mode the whole weekend and made the most of the experience. The tiny house was kitted with all the things that you need, all the products in there are premium and sourced from ethical brands. Let’s be honest the firepit and outdoor bath were the highlights for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you are like me and struggle to switch off. They are running a Winter Campaign which is all about swapping your usual beach days for days in the wild. You can book one of the 46 cabins all around Australia using the link in my Stories to get up to 20% off this winter OR alternatively try your luck entering the simple giveaway that they are organising on their Insta. You can thank me later! Xoxo Amo

Monday Madness. This is a very late update compared to usual but busy day today. This morning was just nuts down the beach. I only took a few photos before having to rush to an early meeting in the city. The swell should still be here tomorrow, so go and have a look if you can. Xoxo Amo

FriYay. How’s everyone today? After two days in Melbs (Melbourne for the hipsters), I’m back in the hood. What a morning! Incredible light, the surf was ON and the Icebergs was packed - perfect for photo ops. This morning I caught up with my mate Ben, a fellow Frenchy that I haven’t seen for years. We hung out around the Bergs and finished with a swim in South Bondi - how original. Enjoy your weekends my friends. Mine is going to be pretty epic. I’m going into the wild, literally. That’s right, I’m going to one of @in2thewild.aus’s tiny houses. More on this subject later. Stay tuned people! Have a cracking weekend, Lots of love, Amo
