Against my better judgment and my wife’s wishes, I went to play a footy game this evening. When I got to the pitch, my pocket thermometer registered 116°F. That’s bloody hot no matter where you are. And here I am a 40+, overweight middle-aged man going willingly into this frying pan to run around for 90 minutes. I’m getting too old for this.
Warming Up
This was an exceptionally difficult photo to take, surprisingly. I must have snapped 8 or 9 before I got the composition just so. Even still I had to run some levels on it in Photoshop for visibilities sake.
BTW, we won the game 3-nil.
Cheers.

I left the house today for but one purpose – walk the outgoing mail to the mailbox. I took my camera with me and took a photo of this glass bauble hanging in the front garden.

As soon as I had the mail and the photo, I escaped back into the relative comfort of the house where it was nearly 30 degrees cooler than the outside.
Cheers.

I’ve just recently re-connected all the plugs from the various elements of a "Home Theatre" system. While doing so, I realised a fairly decent photo opportunity was in front of me. If only the reality met the imagined result a little better.
Red, White & Yellow
Cheers.
