Mind The Gap

Anyone who has travelled on The Tube in London will be familiar with announcements exhorting passengers to "Mind The Gap". I was sitting in the lower deck of the train on the way to work and was eye level at Sydenham with one of the stencilled platform signs you find on Sydney's railway platforms.

In The Pink

Shadows of bright winter mornings.
Walking to the station on the way to work, I noticed my own shadow on this brick and paling fence (this time a little chunkier than 'Stilt Woman' the other day!)

What is your favourite time of day for walking?

Relationships? o0h!

I don't THINK there is a relationship between the shopfront advertising their pest control services, and the billboard in the airspace above, despite the colour schemes of both. (The billboard can currently be seen in many locations around Sydney).

o0h! But I have been laughing about it ever since noticing this juxtaposition on the Princes Highway at Tempe yesterday morning.

It certainly put a smile on my dial, but on the other hand, perhaps it's just creepy?

Stilt woman

Late sunny winter afternoon shadow puts yours truly on stilts!

Ski equipment

Ski shop, Princes Highway, Banksia.

Winter is here, and although the ski season has started, I'm not sure that there's a lot of snow in the Australian Alps yet.

Get equipped before you head for the snow. The nearest ski resorts are about a 7 hour drive south from Sydney.

Once upon a time in Avignon...

No, not Sydney. I haven't had the chance to go out and take photos yet. Since returning I have been sleeping, and washing and drying clothes and trying to keep warm and dry, because it's turned cold and rainy.

Everywhere we went in Europe people said "You've brought the sun with you!", because every single place we arrived in it had been raining and then cleared to warm sunshine as soon as we arrived (aahhhhhhhhhh, sweet). You can see the threatening sky in the second photo, but it bypassed us in favour of bright, warmth and sun.

I have no intention of posting all my travel photos on this site, which is after all Sydney Daily Photo! Never fear though...I will post a link to wherever they do end up :-) However in catching up with bloggy friends, I couldn't help post these. And there is a Sydney link.

I first met stupendous photographer Nathalie of Avignon In Photos when she was living in and blogging from Sydney. And when we arrived in her re-found home town, she took us into the fields to pick cherries - bags and bags of them. (Right before she took the photo of Ben and me and the cokes). We lived on cherries for days, and then Nathalie's friend Françoise gave us more!

The apricots were just starting to ripen. But, lo! what did I see when working my way back through Avignon In Photos? Nathalie's talent has been recognised, and she's turned wedding photographer! And I recognised those apricots!
